Ngākau Kawakawa Pounamu Pendant

This large ngākau (heart) pendant is carved from kawakawa pounamu, with rich depth of colour and natural movement through the stone. The generous scale gives it presence without losing softness, making it a powerful but wearable taonga.

Suspended on a simple black adjustable cord, the form and stone remain the focus — grounded, timeless, and made to be worn close to the heart. A piece chosen for meaning as much as appearance.

Handmade in Aotearoa New Zealand.
