All Pounamu is sacred and highly valued by Ngāti Waewae. Carving this sacred stone has been a cornerstone of our culture for hundreds of years and we are honoured that you have chosen to adorn yourself with this most scared gift.

The Rau Kūmara is from a range of stylised and contemporary pieces that symbolise a the deep and eternal bond you share with a significant person in your life. It is a symbol of love, loyalty and compassion. 

The Koru within this taonga represent an unfurling ponga fern frond. Symbolising new life, growth, strength and peace.
