Our greenstone is proudly and ethically sourced by our artisans in South Island, New Zealand – Greenstone country. 

The Symbolism of the Koru 

The koru, with its elegant spiral shape inspired by the unfurling frond of the Silver Fern, is one of the most cherished symbols in Māori art and culture. Representing new beginnings, personal growth, prosperity and harmony, the koru is a powerful motif that resonates across generations. At The Fantail House, find intricately carved koru greenstone necklaces that signify renewal and our connection to nature. Whether worn to represent a fresh start or as a daily reminder of life's journey, the koru is a design that holds profound meaning for its wearer. 

The Legacy of the Toki 

The toki, based on a traditional axe head used by Māori, is today a symbol of strength and resilience. Our toki greenstone jewellery brings this sentiment to life through masterful craftsmanship. Each piece embraces the balance between heritage and modernity, with its simple but striking elongated form symbolizing leadership and empowerment. Whether gifted to a loved one or chosen as a personal token of courage, the toki stands as a timeless emblem of perseverance and pride. 

The Elegance of the Pikorua 

The Pikorua (Twist) is a graceful design inspired by the interwoven paths of life. This symbol reflects the enduring bonds, friendships, and connections around us, making it a heartfelt choice for expressing love and loyalty. At The Fantail House, our selection of Greenstone Pikorua celebrate the special relationships and shared journeys that enrich our lives. Perfect for those seeking a meaningful signifier of unity and strong connections, the Pikorua is a magnificent token for the wearer.

Modern Pounamu Jewellery

While traditional designs like the koru, toki, and pikorua hold a special place in New Zealand's cultural heritage, more contemporary pounamu carvings offer fresh perspectives and artistic innovation. Amongst our Pounamu collection, The Fantail House also proudly showcases a range of modern greenstone necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and earrings that blend Māori symbolism with sleek, minimalist designs, creating pieces that appeal to both tradition and modern sensibilities. From abstract pendants to geometric earrings, our collection reimagines pounamu for the modern wearer, offering stylish options for every occasion. These designs speak to the evolution of artistry and the enduring reverence for greenstone in New Zealand culture.
