This beautiful Koru Hei Matau pendant has been hand carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/jade) by Moreton carvers founded by Deane Moreton based in Hokitika, South Island.
The koru shape is based on the unfurling fern frond, symbolising new growth, new life, peace, and tranquillity.
The Matau is the Māori name for fishhook and is a symbol of determination, strength, provision and safe travel over water.
Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material.
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.
Made in New Zealand
