About This Pounamu Pendant

Carved from authentic New Zealand pounamu (greenstone) sourced from the South Island, this wave heart pendant brings together two of the most beloved symbols in greenstone jewellery. The design honours both the heart — a universal symbol of love and connection — and the ocean wave, representing life's journey and the enduring bond between people and the sea. 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 New Zealand pounamu
• Unique natural colours and markings
• 35mm — ideal for everyday wear
• Combines heart and wave symbolism

Meaning of the Wave Heart

The wave heart pendant is a uniquely powerful symbol — one that speaks to the depth of human connection and the strength it takes to love and be loved through all of life's changes.

The heart has long represented love, warmth, and the bonds we share with those closest to us. In pounamu, it carries an added weight — a gift of greenstone is a gift of yourself, a lasting token of care and connection.

The wave speaks to life's journey — its rhythm, its flow, and its inevitable changes. In Māori tradition, the ocean is a place of both challenge and navigation, a force that connects rather than divides. Waves remind us that even in difficulty, there is movement, momentum, and the promise of calmer waters ahead.

Together, the wave and heart create a symbol of:

• Love — deep, enduring, and unconditional
• Connection — to people, to place, to the ocean
• Family — the bonds that hold us through every season
• Friendship — the kind that weathers every storm
• Emotional strength — the courage to feel deeply and keep going
• Life's journey — embracing change with grace and resilience
• The ocean — honouring the sea that shaped Aotearoa and its people

For anyone who has ever found strength in the sea, or in the people they love, this pendant carries that meaning with them.

Common Questions

Is this genuine New Zealand greenstone?
Yes. Every pendant is carved from authentic pounamu sourced from New Zealand — not imitation stone or resin.

Will I receive the exact pendant shown in the photo?
Because pounamu is a natural stone, each piece has its own unique colour and markings. The pendant you receive will be similar in shape and size to the one shown, but beautifully unique to you.

Does this pendant come with a cord?
Yes — your pendant comes on an adjustable waxed slipknot cord, ready to wear straight away.

What is included with my pendant?
Your wave heart pendant arrives in a kete (woven pouch) with a meaning card explaining the symbolism — perfect for gifting with no extra wrapping needed.

Why is every piece different?
Pounamu is a natural stone formed over millions of years. Each piece has its own unique colour, tone and markings — no two pendants are ever identical. This is part of what makes greenstone so special.
