Description
These earrings are made from Kōkopu Pounamu and shaped as gently tapered roimata. Each pounamu drop measures 40mm in length, with a total drop of around 60mm including the hooks. The stone carries the deep greens and mottled patterning typical of Kōkopu Pounamu, giving the earrings a grounded and natural presence.
The roimata shape holds strong meaning within Māori culture. It is commonly associated with healing, release, and aroha, representing tears shed through grief, change, gratitude, or emotional growth. Roimata are often worn to acknowledge personal journeys and to support resilience and wellbeing, serving as a quiet reminder of inner strength.
Worn as earrings, the roimata hangs freely and close to the wearer, reinforcing its personal and reflective nature. These earrings suit everyday wear while also carrying deeper meaning for those who value Pounamu as a taonga rather than simply an adornment.
