The Breastplate is a symbol of strength and leadership.
The pounamu breastplate is thought of as a shield, giving the wearer strength and offering them protection throughout their life.
Jayme Andersen
The artist behind this creationJayme believes pounamu is a magical material that deserves the best possible finish and this is what he strives for when crafting every piece. Originally from Napier, he now resides on a 10-acre lifestyle block just outside of Greymouth. Living in the heart of Marsden pounamu country, Jayme is extremely lucky to have the New River running through his land.
The breastplate acts as a physical and symbolic shield and is thought to be a protective talisman. It represents strength, resilience, and the ability to shield oneself from negative energies or harm.
