The breastplate (Kōuma), hand-carved from New Zealand's poumamu in its rich Inanga colour, symbolises both physical and symbolic protection when worn over the torso. Rooted in cultural significance, this piece represents hauora (well-being), with an adjustable hand-woven brown cord ensuring a comfortable fit for all sizes.
75mm x 45mm x6mm
Durability: While pounamu (greenstone) is celebrated for its robustness, its dense nature makes it vulnerable to shock. Handle with care to maintain its integrity.
Protection: Avoid placing or wearing your pounamu on hard surfaces where it might get chipped.
Wear Often: Wear your pounamu frequently to enhance its shine with your natural skin oils. The cord is durable but will naturally wear over time.
Cleaning: Simply use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for your pounamu. Beeswax or coconut oil can also be applied to moisturise the stone. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they may harm its surface.
