    Description

    Small in size but rich in spirit, this 25mm Koru pendant is carved from genuine South Island pounamu and shaped after the most iconic symbol in New Zealand art and culture.

    The koru — based on the silver fern frond as it uncurls toward the light — represents new life, growth, peace, and a return to the beginning. It is given to mark new chapters: new jobs, new relationships, new babies, new adventures.

    Blessed and gifting-ready, this pendant is a taonga that speaks of hope and possibility. Perfect for layering or wearing alone, it is a beautiful piece of New Zealand's natural and cultural heritage.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
