These handcrafted Moko Kauae necklaces are made from genuine Pounamu (New Zealand Greenstone) and feature the Moko Kauae design — a powerful symbol of strength, identity, and empowerment for Wahine (women).
Each piece measures approximately 6cm x 5.5cm and comes with a handwoven, adjustable cord for the perfect fit. Presented in a gift bag, ready to be treasured or gifted.
Moko Kauae symbolizes a woman's whānau and leadership in her community, acknowledging her whakapapa, status, and skills.
The Moko Kauae, a traditional female chin tattoo for New Zealand Māori women, serves as a symbolic representation of their authentic self. It is believed that every Māori woman carries a moko within them, and when they are ready, a tattoo artist brings it to the surface as a physical manifestation of their identity.
