These Koru are 17mm in diameter. They are carved from pounamu we have collected from the South Westland Area on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand.
The earring findings are surgical steel so they are hypoallergenic so will not react with the skin.
They have a sterling silver jumping and come with rubber keepers.
Earring Meaning: The Koru represents the new shoots of the fern plant opening so it symbolises growth, harmony and new beginnings.
It also represents the family as a whole, an individual person, an event, time, place, accomplishment or achievement that has happened in your life.
They were traditionally tattooed on the body and carved in the main poles and panels in the Whare/house. The Maori had an oral language. They told their life story from the Koru's that had been carved and tattooed. It is up to the person to tell the story of what their Koru represents.
