Patterned Green Wedding Set – Toki and Kuru

This set was made for a special couple that had a beautiful wedding we attended recently.  They are from the same stone, a stunning bright green colour with some inclusions that add some striking patterns.

Making sets for people that share a strong connection is something I really love about carving pounamu.  The primal forces that these materials have gone through together to shape and define them can have very strong correlation to the bonds we share as people.  Going through life together, shaping and defining our own character, being, and relationships.

By having and treasuring a taonga from a set like this you are always connected to the other part of the set, which is why this concept is especially appropriate for marriage.
