"CresentMoon" NZ Greenstone Pounamu Necklace

New Zealand Greenstone Necklace (body 8.5 cm) & Plaited Cord Overall Length 45 cm  

Original Designs by Ray Fransham , Rei Jewellery.

 We have used several different colored stone in each of these large pendants, and there is variation within each stone, so each piece is unique.

Greenstone or Pounamu was always the most precious of things for Maori. Because of its hardness and toughness, it made the best tools, the best weapons, as well as the most beautiful ornaments, and was regarded like diamonds.

What Maori call their spiritual connectedness with Jade, has led all New Zealanders to love and respect it, and to regard it as our National Stone.
