Pounamu Manaia Hook Pendant

This Pounamu necklace is a stunning piece of traditional Māori jewellery, carved from genuine Nephrite Jade. Featuring a beautiful hook shape, the Manaia design symbolises protection, serving as a guardian against evil, while the Hook shape is believed to bring good fortune and ensure safe journeys over water.

The necklace is strung on a braided black wax cord, with adjustable sliding knots to customise the pendant's length. Each piece is hand-carved, so slight variations in design and colour make every necklace unique.

It makes an excellent gift or New Zealand souvenir.
