About the Pikorua:
Pikorua, the Maori name of this symbol, refers to eternal emerging paths in life. The eight-shaped single twist symbolizes the strength of the friendship, loyalty and bond between two people. It signifies the spiritual merger of two people for eternity.
About Pounamu:
No two pieces of pounamu are the same, and every stone is treated with the utmost respect by those who source and carve it.
Renowned for its beauty and strength, the rare stone is highly valued by both Maori and greater New Zealand. While generically known as greenstone or New Zealand jade, pounamu refers to the particular types of hard nephrite jade, found only in southern New Zealand.
