The most unique feature of this closed spiral necklace is the rare piece of New Zealand Pounamu (greenstone) it's been carved in. Milky white jade like this is known as 'inanga' jade in New Zealand and is named after our river minnow 'whitebait' which glistens a pearly white in the sun. The bright yellow patterns dotted over its' surface are also very unique. This design represents growth and new beginnings.

Koru / Spiral

Koru / Spiral

Resembling the unfurling frond of the native New Zealand silver fern, the Koru connects us to new beginnings, hope for the future, and the good that will follow.

Pounamu Koru

A fundamental symbol in Māori art, the koru symbolises life and creation, with its fluid circular shape conveying the idea of everlastingness.

Depicting new beginnings, life and hope.

The koru is a beloved symbol throughout Aotearoa, seen painted on tipuna (meeting houses), waka (canoes), in traditional Tā moko (Māori tattooing) and on wood and greenstone carvings. Pounamu artists use the koru pattern in many different ways; often introducing it as surface-etching or detail into other forms and shapes. It is though to depict new beginnings, life and hope.
