Pounamu Mako — Strength & Protection

A Pounamu Mako (Shark Tooth) symbolises Kaha (strength), Māia (courage), and Tiaki (protection). Inspired by the fearless Mako Shark, this Taonga supports determination, resilience, and clear direction. A powerful piece for those navigating big journeys or protecting their whānau.

Pounamu Mako — He Taonga o te Kaha me te Māia

Ko te Mako he tohu o te Kaha (strength), Māia (courage), me te Tiaki (protection). He ika tere, he ika toa o te moana.

The Pounamu Mako carries the same fearless energy — guiding the wearer with resilience, instinct, and confidence on every journey.

The Mako Shark is known for its speed, precision, and unwavering courage. A Pounamu Mako holds that same Mauri (life force) — a guardian for travellers, leaders, protectors, and those who have overcome hardship.

It embodies Kaha (strength), Manawanui (perseverance), and Toa (warrior spirit), helping the wearer move through life with clarity and purpose. As Pounamu, it also carries Wairua (spiritual connection) and Whakapapa (ancestral lineage), making it a deeply personal Taonga.
