This beautiful Single Twist with Koru Pendant has been carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/ jade) by Moreton carvers founded by Deane Moreton based in Hokitika, South Island.
The single Pikorua figure eight represents the path of life, it is the eternity symbol based on the crisscross of the kete (woven basket) where the path of life in spite of challenges and differences continues and time is unstoppable.
The koru shape is based on the unfurling fern frond symbolising new growth, new life, peace and tranquillity.
Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material and is said to absorb the owners essential spirit, feeding it back to them and enhancing their strength.
Deane Moreton learnt his craft whilst working alongside his father in the family Pounamu/Greenstone business. Deane has over 30 years’ experience in sourcing and handcrafting New Zealand Pounamu and his designs are a blend of traditional and contemporary designs, inspired by Aotearoa’s rich culture and natural beauty.
