Double koru carved from nephrite jade kawakawa pounamu greenstone

This taonga (treasure) hand-carved from nephrite jade features the double koru, one of the most significant and popular Māori symbols. It is created by intertwining two koru, the spiral shape of the unfurling fern frond.

This piece is a profound symbol of:

·       Harmony and Unity: The two intertwined spirals represent the coming together of two people or spirits. It is a powerful symbol of deep and meaningful relationships, including love, friendship, or family.

·       New Life and Growth: While the single koru symbolizes new beginnings, the double koru signifies the growth and nurturing of a shared life or journey. It celebrates how two people can grow and thrive together.

·       The Eternal Bond: The continuous, looping forms suggest a bond that is everlasting and unbreakable. It represents the journey of life, where two paths become one and are forever linked.

This double koru is a beautiful and thoughtful gift for a loved one, a wearable reminder of a shared bond and the journey of life you are traveling together.
