Beautifully hand carved in Hokitika, South Island, New Zealand by Donna Summers. As a child she was taught that pounamu is a precious taonga, a sacred gift that is passed down through the generations. While working with creating the traditional motifs Donna takes inspiration from the location where she grew up, whether it was spending hours at the beach fossicking or out in the far north wilderness.

Her work continues to evolve. Donna's intuitive carving reflects her skilled eye for beautiful design. Her pieces speak for themselves.

Approximate measurements -  5.5 x 2.8 cm. Adjustable dark brown cord to suit what length you prefer.

Each piece comes in complimentary kete.
