The Kōuma breastplate, hand-carved from New Zealand’s kawakawa Pounamu, features a stunning blend of deep green and soft white hues with a natural texture and a smooth matte finish. Symbolising protection and hauora (well-being), this piece has a substantial, weighty feel that reflects its strength and significance. It is paired with a durable, 4-plait handwoven adjustable black cord for a bold and timeless look. Thoughtfully presented in an eco-friendly box, it comes with cards explaining its meaning and care, making it a meaningful taonga to cherish.

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.
