60mm x 60mm x 3mm.
This exquisite pounamu disc is a testament to the harmony between artistry and heritage, meticulously crafted by New Zealand artist Amie Redpath. Each piece is woven with a handwoven cord, embodying the essence of kotahitanga — the profound oneness that unites community and nature alike.
Carved from rare Kahurangi pounamu, revered as the chief among stones, this necklace carries deep significance. In tradition, Kahurangi is not just a stone but a symbol of rangatira—the leaders who bear the noble responsibility for the wellbeing of their people. This stone holds within it the luminous light of the heavens, a radiant reminder of the spirit and strength required to lead with honour.
The silky glow of the Kahurangi represents the wairua — the spirit shining through a person of integrity. Wearing this pendant is an invocation to act with courage, clarity, and respect, to embrace the call of rangatira in one’s own life, and to serve others with dedication and grace. It is more than jewellery; it is a talisman for oneness, transformation, and responsible stewardship of both self and the natural world we cherish.
