Celebrating our National Rugby Team, The Black Ferns
The Black Ferns
are New Zealand's premier women's rugby team and the most dominant team in all of rugby with Rugby World Cup titles in 1998, 2002 2006, 2010 and 2017 and 2021 (played in 2022). They have one of the best winning percentages in international rugby, with victory in over 85 percent of their Tests.
The Black Ferns
successful 2017 season was a landmark one for women’s rugby with the Black Ferns
becoming the first women’s team to ever be named the World Rugby Team of the Year.
In 2022, the Black Ferns
captured the imagination of Aotearoa when they lifted the Rugby World Cup on home soil for the first time. Playing in front of then world record crowd of 42,000 for women’s rugby, the Black Ferns
edged England 34-31 in a thrilling final.
Each carving is handcrafted from Genuine NZ Greenstone. Each piece is unique in the greenstone used and the design carved. This is an example of the carving that you will receive, you will not receive this exact piece but one that is very similar.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
All carvings are packaged in a Black Ferns
display case with a hologram authenticity sticker and Genuine NZ Greenstone Information card. They are hand bound in our Bespoke Black Ferns
