Discover the rare, hidden depth of authentic New Zealand Pounamu. This striking, minimalist statement pendant is hand-carved from premium Totoweka Pounamu, a highly prized variety sourced directly from the rugged rivers of Aotearoa.
While appearing as a deep, grounded olive-green in standard lighting, the true magic of this stone is revealed when it catches the sun. As beautifully captured in the backlit glow, the stone illuminates to showcase the breathtaking yellow-green hues and distinctive, moody purple-red inclusions that make Totoweka entirely unique and rich in story.
Every element of this piece speaks to traditional care and modern execution. The 4.5cm stone has been meticulously smoothed into a sleek, tactile capsule shape that is incredibly comforting to hold. It is secured with a striking, contrast-wrapped binding in midnight black and golden-tan, then strung on a premium, hand-plaited adjustable cord.
