Roimata - Pounamu & Paua Earrings
The term roimata conveys the idea of a tear or emotion, often representing grief, loss, or deep emotional connection, but it can also symbolize strength and resilience through emotional challenges.
Pounamu drop earrings with paua inset are beautiful and meaningful pieces of jewelry that combine two iconic elements from Aotearoa's natural world: pounamu (greenstone) and paua (a type of abalone shell). Here's a closer look at both materials:
Pounamu (Greenstone): Pounamu is a type of jade found in New Zealand, highly valued by the Māori people for its spiritual significance, beauty, and strength. It is often used in jewelry and carvings, and it is associated with strength, protection, and prosperity.
Paua: Paua is a shellfish found in New Zealand's coastal waters, renowned for its iridescent blue, green, and purple colors. The paua shell is often used in jewelry for its striking and vibrant hues, making each piece unique.
