New Zealand jade twist pendants stand for friendship or, in a broader sense, the connection between two people. Love for each other that connects two individuals results in two lives becoming one.

The meaning of the Maori twist also has to do with eternity. Beloved ones may take different paths in life but thanks to their connection they will always converge at certain points. This shows that two lives can be together but still follow their own destiny. The twist design has no end or beginning which refers to eternity.

Pounamu is the Maori name for New Zealand jade. Historically it has been of great importance to the Maori. Not only because of the practical uses of this material. The hard stone was very suitable for making tools. But also because of its symbolic and spiritual significance. Genuine pounamu has a very strong spiritual meaning to the Maori people. That’s why the Maori use of crafting beautiful jade pendants and other types of jewelry goes back hundreds of years but is still very lively and popular.

    Hello from Christchurch,

    Your pieces are just lovely and one in particular is similar to what I’m looking for, however I want to know whether the jade is actually pounamu and whether it was carved here in NZ by a Maori professional carver. It is a greenstone infinity loop pendant and is priced at $70.39. It is the 4th item in your illustrations above. I look forward to your reply.,
    Thanks you,

    Hi Catherine, the infinity loop pendant you mentioned is made from pounamu but not by a Maori carver. The Bone Art Place does have a whole section of pounamu pendants made by Maori artists. Hope this helps with making your decision. Mik
