About This Pounamu Pendant

Carved from authentic New Zealand pounamu (greenstone) sourced from the South Island, this Heart Koru pendant brings together two powerful symbols in a single, wearable piece. At 35mm, it’s a generous size that sits beautifully and is comfortable for everyday wear. Because pounamu is a natural stone, every pendant has its own unique colour, tone and markings — no two pieces are ever the same.

• Hand-carved from authentic South Island pounamu
• Combines the Heart and Koru symbols
• 35mm — a wearable size for everyday wear
• Unique natural colours and markings
• Every piece is one-of-a-kind

Meaning of the Heart Koru

The Heart Koru is a pendant of rare depth — one that speaks to both the love we hold for others and the growth we carry within ourselves.

The heart is a universal symbol of aroha — the Māori concept of love, compassion and connection that extends beyond the personal to encompass all living things. In pounamu, a gift of the heart is a gift of yourself: something lasting, something real.

The koru is the unfurling frond of the silver fern — one of New Zealand’s most iconic natural forms. In Māori tradition, the koru represents new life, growth and the continuous cycle of renewal. It is a reminder that we are always becoming, always unfolding into something new.

Together, the Heart Koru is a symbol of:

• Aroha (love) — deep, unconditional and enduring
• Compassion — an open heart toward others
• Connection — to the people and places that matter most
• Growth — the courage to keep becoming
• Renewal — fresh starts and second chances
• Harmony — balance between love and growth, self and others
• New beginnings — the start of something beautiful

It is a pendant for someone who loves deeply and grows continuously — or for the person in your life who deserves to be reminded of both.
