A soft reminder of aroha, connection, and the heart we return to.

Hand-carved from pounamu, this Manawa carries the gentle strength of the heart - a form that speaks to love, feeling, courage, and the quiet truth we carry within.

A Manawa represents the aroha we carry through life - the people who shape us, the memories held close, and the connections that remain with us through every season.

 - Not only romantic love.

 - But the love between parent and child.

 - The love between sisters, friends, partners, and whānau.

 - The love we carry for those no longer beside us.

 - And the love we are learning to offer ourselves.

With its soft rounded form, natural green tones, darker inclusions, polished surface, and black binding, this Manawa carries a grounded and deeply wearable presence.

 - Gentle, but not without strength.

 - Simple, but full of feeling.

From the whenua, to the workshop, and eventually to the person it is destined to journey alongside, this pounamu heart carries its own quiet character, story, and wairua.

Chosen as a gift, this Manawa offers a meaningful way to honour someone held close in the heart - a daughter, mother, friend, partner, sister, or loved one moving through change, celebrating a milestone, healing, remembering, or beginning again.

And if it speaks to you personally, may it become a daily reminder to return to your own heart.

Worn close, this Manawa will become a quiet reminder of love, connection, emotional strength, and the heart’s steady wisdom.

Over time, this pounamu will gently respond to the natural oils of the skin, developing a finish and depth unique to the person who wears it. The colour, surface, and character may subtly evolve - becoming a living reflection of the journey it shares with its wearer.

May the changing tones become a reminder of connection, presence, and the quiet legacy carried through each chapter of life. Whether chosen as a meaningful gift or because they speak to you personally, this taonga has the potential to become an heirloom held close and passed through generations.
