The double Koru pendant is 35mm in diameter. It is carved from pounamu we have collected from the Marsden Valley in the Paroa Aea just outside of Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand.
The Koru has an extremely strong, waxed nylon cord so the pendant can be worn ALL the time - even in any kind of water. The cord is adjustable by pinching the special knots between your thumb and finger and pulling.
It has a Koru spiralling on one side. The other side is smooth. The pendant can be worn either way for two different looks.
Pendant 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.
