This pounamu necklace is a stunning piece of traditional Māori jewellery, carved from pounamu (greenstone).
The Manaia design symbolises protection and serves as a guardian against evil, making this necklace both beautiful and meaningful.
Strung on a classic black wax cord, the necklace’s length is adjustable using sliding knots, allowing for a custom fit. Each pendant is individually hand-carved, so slight variations may occur, adding to the uniqueness of the piece. It is supplied loose in a plastic bag.
It’s an ideal gift or a unique New Zealand souvenir.
