This precious stone has surged to the earth’s surface as a result of the movement of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates over many years. Each region of New Zealand tends to produce different variations of jade; each with a variety of colours, patterns, and textures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe native New Zealand Māori have a strong connection and respect for the land, and the pounamu holds incredible significance in their history and culture. This deep connection is clearly reflected through the way each stone is individually carved into a different native identity. Take the Koru, for example, this spiral carving depicts new beginnings, life, and hope. The twisted greenstone (Pikaru) symbolizes the bond between two people, connecting the lives of friends, family, or loved ones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach of our New Zealand jade carvings is hand-carved and in a variety of hues and colours, so you know that each piece that you own will always be completely unique to you.

Greenstone Double Twist Pendant
Size (mm): 45 H x 26 W
This greenstone necklace is a beautiful piece of Māori jewelry. Carved from genuine Nephrite Jade. Makes a wonderful Kiwiana gift or NZ souvenir. This Māori necklace is strung on a braided traditional black wax cord. The height that the pendant hangs at can be adjusted using the sliding knots. As each piece is individually carved slight variations can occur.
The Twist represents the path of life and is a symbol of the strong bond between loved ones.
Great online service and delivery. Very nicely packaged and presented. I looked around and this was the most reasonably priced. I have bought it as a gift so it hasn't been worn yet. Highly recommend this company. Thank you
