18ct Gold + Īnanga Pounamu Ring





18ct Gold + Īnanga Pounamu Ring
This delicate ring features a unique piece of Īnanga Pounamu from the West Coast of the South Island here in Aotearoa New Zealand. The stone features a soft, pale green typical of the Īnanga (baby whitebait) here in New Zealand, hence the name of the stone. The Pounamu is delicately set in claws with a minimalist design to highlight its natural glow.
The 18ct yellow gold is also from the West Coast of the South Island, from an artisanal mine which uses safe, clean alluvial mining practices.
Hand fabricated in 18ct Yellow gold.
Stone cut and metal fabricated by me, Courtney, right here in my Waikato studio.
