Kahurangi Pounamu Crescent Moon

This delicate crescent moon pendant is carved from gem-grade Kahurangi Pounamu, known for its stunning clarity and vivid, bright green hues. Measuring 30mm high, this piece is small yet captivating, allowing the natural translucence of the stone to shine through.

Kahurangi Pounamu is one of the rarest and most sought-after types of Pounamu, prized for its vibrant green tones and exceptional clarity. In this piece, I’ve aimed to highlight those qualities, carefully shaping the stone into a smooth, graceful crescent moon. The crescent shape carries a deep symbolism, representing new beginnings, growth, and the cycles of life.

The simplicity of this design draws attention to the stone’s exquisite natural features. The piece is finished with a soft, rounded edge to enhance its smooth texture, making it a beautiful taonga to wear close to the heart. It’s a privilege to work with such a rare and gorgeous stone, transforming it into a meaningful piece that embodies the beauty of Aotearoa.
