Combines love and new beginnings in one carved symbol.
A generous expression of love and new beginnings, this 35mm Heart Koru pendant is carved from genuine South Island New Zealand pounamu and combines two of the most meaningful symbols in Māori art.
The heart carries the warmth of love and connection, while the koru speaks of growth, renewal, and the unfolding of all that is beautiful in life. In pounamu — a stone revered for its spiritual energy — these forms take on even greater depth and resonance.
Each pendant has been blessed and arrives ready to gift as a taonga. A deeply meaningful present for someone you love, celebrating the beautiful new beginnings ahead of them.

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.
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.
Known as the pikorua, the twist represents two paths — two people, two cultures, two journeys — entwined together in a bond that lasts a lifetime.
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.
