New Zealand Pounamu Auhunga - Long Earrings

This is a rare set of long inanga/auhunga Pounamu earrings

(I will post more accurate photos soon)

These were carved from West Coast Pounamu, polished up to how it is today, as seen in the photos.
They will gradually over time absorb the wearers oils binding your connection with the stone forever meaning it can be passed down for generations(this will slightly alter the colour, making them brighter or darker depending on your oils), these stones very durable and have been around for millions of years.

*Connection to heritage*: For Māori people, pounamu is a tangible link to their ancestors and cultural identity.
*Symbolism*: Pounamu represents strength, courage, and resilience.

*Protection*: Pounamu is believed to offer protection and guidance to the wearer.
*Spiritual growth*: It's thought to promote spiritual growth, well-being, and balance.

*Family heirloom*: Pounamu necklaces are often passed down through generations, serving as a family treasure.
*Special occasions*: Great given as gifts to mark important life events, such as births, weddings, or milestones.

Pounamu is prized for their natural beauty and unique patterns
