POUNAMU PIN

Hand carved by Kristal Thompson

A wonderful single-tine pounamu (greenstone) hairpin is a simple yet elegant piece of traditional adornment. Its minimalist design emphasises the natural beauty of the pounamu, in this case a wonderful soft pale green with a smooth, polished surface. This hairpin is both functional and symbolic, used to secure the hair while reflecting the wearer’s connection to the land and its resources. Unlike intricately carved heru, the plain single-tine version exudes understated grace, embodying an appreciation of raw, unembellished beauty.

A gorgeous finely-shaped hair pin that is sure to delight!

will be delivered lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
