Pounamu Hook with Koru

Hand-carved from genuine New Zealand pounamu, this elegant Hei Matau (fish hook) combines the enduring symbolism of the traditional hook with the flowing beauty of the koru. The Hei Matau represents strength, prosperity, abundance, and safe passage, while the koru symbolises growth, renewal, and the continuous unfolding of life's journey.

Featuring soft green tones with distinctive natural veining and markings, each carving is unique, reflecting the individual character of the stone from which it was created. The graceful koru cut-out adds movement and balance to the design, creating a meaningful taonga that honours both tradition and craftsmanship.

Whether worn as a personal symbol of resilience and new beginnings or gifted as a token of protection and good fortune, this pounamu necklace is a timeless connection to the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Bound with a black adjustable cord.
