Description
Tender and full of meaning, this Heart Koru pendant weaves together love and new beginnings in a single, beautifully carved piece of South Island pounamu.

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.
Can I wear pounamu if I'm not Māori?
Yes — pounamu is worn and treasured by people of all backgrounds. Many believe it holds the most meaning when it's given as a gift rather than bought for yourself, as the act of gifting is part of what gives the stone its story.
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.
Should you wear your pounamu all the time?
Many believe pounamu grows more beautiful the more it's worn, taking on the character of the person wearing it over time. There's no strict rule — wear it as often as feels right to you.
