Pikorua

One of the most enchanting gifts that the land of Aotearoa (New Zealand) has offered to the world is the Pounamu stone. Often referred to as ‘greenstone’ or New Zealand jade, it’s much more than a simple mineral. It is a symbol of status, power, and prestige. And when carved with precision and passion, as showcased in the exquisite Pounamu Pikorua pendant here, it takes on a deeper meaning and significance.

The Pikorua, or the twist design, holds special significance in Māori symbolism. It represents the paths of life and love, showcasing the journey of two individuals, who sometimes move away from each other, yet always come back together. Their paths may be different, but their destinies are intertwined, signifying an eternal bond of friendship and loyalty that lasts beyond a lifetime.
