Roimata Koura me Inanga - Gold-Capped Greenstone Teardrop Pendant
$ 13,389.00
The roimata embodies our emotions in times of joy, sadness, celebration and tribulation. Traditionally made from pounamu adzes or similar tools that were too worn down to be functional, they were gifted as a way of remembering the history and tūpuna (ancestors). They remind us of our humanity, and our ability to overcome adversity even when the path is spiritually difficult.
This roimata was carved by Alex Sands from inanga pounamu sourced from Arahura of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa set with solid 9ct gold and capped and band with a gold-plated chain by John Mayo. It measures 70mm by 7mm, has a semi-gloss finish.
