Rei Mako Kawata - Silver Mako Tooth Necklace
$945.00
Deep within the alluvial beds along the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu, gold and silver is found alongside pounamu. European settlers brought metal-working to Aotearoa, making the combination of precious metals with greenstone naturally complementary and a true fusion of pākehā and Māori cultures.
This rei mako kawata was crafted by Alex Sands from a mako tooth and set in sterling silver with mangōpare embellishments. It measures 28mm by 15mm, has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided polyester cord.
