NZ Greenstone Pounamu | Dale Borland Necklace Double Twist 25mm
Symbolises two paths entwined — a bond that grows stronger with time.
$109.99
Description
One of the most beloved forms in New Zealand pounamu carving, the Double Twist speaks of two paths entwining — a symbol of the bond between two people that grows stronger with time.
In Māori tradition, the twist (or pikorua) represents the joining of two lives, two cultures, or two paths forever interlinked. The double twist speaks of the eternal bond of friendship, love, and loyalty — together, forever, through all of life's journeys.
Carved from genuine South Island greenstone and blessed before gifting, this pendant is a taonga made for giving to someone whose path is entwined with yours. A deeply personal and enduring gift of love.

What does the shape of a pounamu represent?
Each carved form carries its own meaning. The koru symbolises new life and growth, the twist (pikorua) represents two paths joined together, the hook (hei matau) speaks of safe travel and abundance, and the toki (adze) stands for strength and purpose.
What is the Māori symbol for good luck?
The koru is one of the forms most associated with good fortune and new beginnings, though pieces like the hook and the twist are also commonly gifted as symbols of protection and good luck.
What does the pounamu twist symbolise?
Known as the pikorua, the twist represents two paths — two people, two cultures, two journeys — entwined together in a bond that lasts a lifetime.
What does a heart-shaped pounamu mean?
A simple, universal symbol of love and connection, often given to mark a relationship, a milestone, or simply to let someone know they're cherished.
