The Pounamu has been set in sterling silver, which has been oxidised (darkened) and then sanded to reveal the silver on the higher points.
Size 6.5 or M/N. Ring can be sized up to a 7.5 or O/P free of charge. Simply leave a note at checkout for me.
Marsden Flower Pounamu is from the Marsden, West Coast area. This stone is a highly translucent, light-ish green shade. It is one of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by Māori. The yellow part at the top is what is called the 'rind', which is the outer part of the stone.
Handcrafted by Opal Downes, Ngā Rauru/Ngāti Kahungunu in Whanganui, Aotearoa, New Zealand.
