The Roimata is thought to restore balance and well-being
The tear-drop shape of the Roimata holds a deep spiritual connection to the land, bringing energy and power.Māori culture emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and tears are seen as a link between the physical and spiritual realms.
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 Roimata's tear-drop shape embodies the idea of healing and resilience, reminding us of the strength within our tears.
The Roimata
Roimata in Māori translates to tears, and when carved in pounamu, the tear-drop shape of the stone speaks to the depths of human emotion and the enduring connection between nature and spirituality. Just as natural world finds balance in its cycles, the Roimata, is thought to restore balance and well-being to those who wear it and is worn as a protective talisman, guiding individuals through life's ups and downs.
