TE KORU WAIRUA

TE KORU WAIRUA - A large and striking koru pendant carved in New Zealand pounamu.

This pendant is a large, beautifully carved and striking work of art. It is carved with depth and width and has a real heft - it is a very significant piece, and one that deserves to become an heirloom - a piece to pass down the generations.

Kerry has used a New Zealand Marsden Jade for this carving. It is a wonderful piece of stone - textured and rich. It reveals a deep green with a few pale inclusions which are clearly visible in the photos. The finish is a soft satin matte.

Kerry has carved this piece as a symbol of, and reflection on, the inevitable ups and downs one confronts on the journey through life.

TE KORU WAIRUA is provided with an adjustable cord we have plaited in a Khaki Green.

TE KORU WAIRUA is a carefully thought through pendant, with considerable history sitting behind the design.

The Koru: the Māori word for 'loop'. The spiral shaped koru design represents an unfolding silver fern frond. The circular movement towards an inner coil refers to ‘going back to the beginning’.  The unfurling frond itself is symbolic of new life, new beginnings, hope and rebirth.

The shape is streamlined, gloriously curved and quite unique. Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.

DELIVERY WITH EXPRESS COURIER IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.

Also included, our 'Kia ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the design.
