9cm Roimata Kawakawa

Discover the enchanting beauty of the Roimata pendant, a treasure from the heart of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Crafted from Pounamu, also known as greenstone or New Zealand jade, this pendant is not just a piece of jewelry but a taonga, a cherished possession with deep cultural significance.

The Roimata shape, characterized by its elongated form, is often referred to as the “teardrop.” It symbolizes comfort, healing, and strength. It is a totem for emotional balance, often worn to bring inner peace and to honor memories of loved ones.

Embracing a Roimata pendant from Campbell Carving means more than wearing a piece of jewelry; it’s about carrying a piece of New Zealand’s soul with you. It’s a connection to the land, the people, and the stories that make these creations truly unique.
