The pendant is 38mm in length and 30mm at its widest.

This pendant with four Koru is carved from pounamu we have collected from the  Marsden Valley in the Paroa area just outside of Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island. 

The Koru has a waxed nylon cord so the pendant can be worn ALL the time - even in any kind of water.  It is extremely strong and is made to be worn all the time - even in water.  The cord is adjustable by pinching the special knots between your thumb and finger and pulling.  

This pendant can represent each member of a family, or one person, their family, grand parents and ancestors ( the different generations ).   Or it can be one of the meanings mentioned below.

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.  Their life story was told from the Koru's that were tattooed and carved.  It is up to the person to tell the story of what their Koru’s represent.
