Greenstone wedge-shaped pendant (3.2cm) with silver thread set in silver.

New Zealand Greenstone Wedge Pendant with Sterling Silver Inlay. Elegant and meaningful, this striking New Zealand greenstone pendant showcases the natural beauty and cultural heritage of genuine pounamu (greenstone). The sleek wedge shape highlights the rich green tones of the stone, while a subtle sterling silver adds a refined modern accent. Carefully sourced and hand carved in Aotearoa (New Zealand), every piece of pounamu is unique, carrying natural patterns and colours formed over thousands of years in the rivers and mountains of the South Island. This makes each pendant not just jewellery, but a small piece of New Zealand’s natural history.
For Māori, pounamu holds deep cultural significance and is traditionally believed to enhance the mana (prestige and strength) of its wearer. When given as a gift, greenstone becomes even more meaningful, growing in value as a treasured keepsake passed between people. Suspended on a sterling silver chain, the graceful 10mm x 32mm wedge design sits comfortably against the neckline, making it a versatile piece that can be worn every day or for special occasions.
Presented in a lovely jewellery box, this pendant makes a thoughtful New Zealand greenstone gift and a beautiful reminder of Aotearoa’s heritage. Genuine New Zealand pounamu (greenstone) – naturally unique in colour and pattern.
