Mountain Jade
The artist behind this creationThe team of artists in our Mountain Jade studio are devoted to their craft, passionately hand-carving New Zealand pounamu with love, skill and passion. Each carver has a particular talent brought to the fore through their unique pieces - whether that means specialising in intricate designs or honing the skill and patience required to work with hand tools. Between them, the carvers cut the stone with the grain before it is closely examined or "read" to decide how best to utilise its natural beauty. It is then sliced, marked, trimmed and transformed into pounamu jewellery or sculptures.
Symbolising the bond between two people, connecting the lives of friends, family or loved ones.
The Twist
The Twist is thought to represent two people's life path. Like the continuous shape of the pikorua, life for both individuals will continue despite many unexpected twists and turns, inevitably bringing them together again one day.
