Symbolising new beginnings, prosperity, and boundless growth, the Koropepe draws its form from the curled tuna (eel). A creature of both water and land. It inspires adaptability and courage to forge your own path. The Koropepe is a guardian of one's wairua (spiritual essence), ensuring clarity and renewal. Its curves embody the cycles of nature, reminding us that every challenge is an opportunity to navigate toward abundance.

The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.

When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn of displayed with respect and pride.
