Green Pikorua/Koru (4cm)

Beautifully handcrafted Pikorua (twist) pendant made from greenstone jade, measuring approximately 4cm in length.

Design: The Pikorua, or twist design, is a traditional Māori symbol representing the bond between people, cultures, or the connection between life and eternity. The double twist, as seen here, symbolises two lives intertwined, often gifted to represent a strong relationship—whether between friends, family, or lovers.

Material: Crafted from polished greenstone jade (nephrite), this pendant shows deep green tones with natural variations, so colour and markings differ from piece to piece.

Cord: Suspended on a braided black or light brown adjustable cord, the necklace is both durable and earthy, enhancing the natural elegance of the stone.

Finish: The surface is smoothly polished, showcasing the stone's lustrous finish and organic beauty.

Significance: This Pikorua is not just jewellery—it's a taonga (treasure), steeped in Māori culture and symbolism. It is traditionally worn to represent strength and unbreakable bonds between people, even when separated by distance or time.

Please note: This is greenstone jade jewellery, handcrafted in New Zealand. It is not sold as registered New Zealand pounamu.
