Ruru Pounamu Owl Pendant

$420.00

This Tangiwai Pounamu Roimata is 10cm long, carved from deep dark green stone with a fine clear grain. The Roimata, or teardrop, symbolises healing, comfort, and connection, making it a meaningful taonga to wear close. When held to the light, the stone glows beautifully, revealing its depth. Finished with a black spiral lashing. I also have a matching piece available if you’d like a set of two.

Description

I’ve carved this little Ruru (owl) from Kawakawa Pounamu, a deep green stone with touches of pale rind showing through. The pendant is 5cm long, small enough to wear daily yet full of personality, with a cheeky little expression on its face. A hidden hole in the back keeps the cord tidy and allows the owl’s form to shine.

The Ruru is a bird known for its wisdom, guardianship, and calm watchfulness. Often seen as a guide and protector, it carries the qualities of insight and connection to the unseen. To wear or gift a Ruru taonga is to carry those qualities close, offering comfort, guidance, and strength through life’s journey. This piece would make a special gift for someone stepping into a new chapter, or a treasured companion to wear yourself.
