Product Details

A stunningly elegant Rei Niho (Whales Tooth) Pendant handcrafted from the most amazing piece of rare gem grade Flower Jade. An exquisite carving created from the pure essence of the Flower Jade and of the highest quality. Attached with a 9ct Yellow Gold Cap.

Rei Niho(Eye Tooth) carved from pounamu, maintains the beauty of the traditional form, symbolising the intimate connection between Maori and Tohorā. The mark of a high Chief was one who wore the rei niho (whale tooth pendant), as the teeth of the sperm whale (Paraoa) were highly prized because of their rarity. With actual whale teeth being such a rarity, it became common to fashion the tooth form from other materials such as this example created from Pounamu.

Marsden Flower Pounamu from the Marsden, West Coast area. The centre of this stone is a highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Māori. The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is Flower Jade, Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.

These bold and commanding 22ct gold plated Round Belchers chains pay homage to the heart and soul of New York city and what gives this city its everlasting spirit; Perfect balance, harmony, and unity.

Stone size 58mm long x 29mm wide
