Pounamu Roimata with Kōwhaiwhai Laser Etch
This Roimata (Tear Drop) Taonga is carved from genuine Pounamu (Greenstone) and engraved with a flowing Kōwhaiwhai (Traditional Pattern) design. The Roimata form represents Rongoā (Healing), Aroha (Love), and the gentle release of emotions, while the Kōwhaiwhai pattern speaks to Whakapapa (Ancestral Lineage) and the continuous flow of life.
Your Pounamu has been blessed through Karakia (Prayer/Incantation) by the carver of Dot Arts. A Karakia is performed to honour the Mauri (Life Force) of the stone, acknowledge its journey from the Whenua (Land), and set intentions of Tiaki (Protection), Kaha (Strength), and Aroha (Love) for the wearer. Through blessing, the Taonga becomes more than jewellery — it becomes a companion carrying Wairua (Spirit) and guidance.
