Greenstone Nephrite Jade Koru Breastplate Pendant – 60mm Hand-Carved Statement Necklace with Adjustable Plaited Cord | Carving Studio NZ

Embrace natural balance, spiritual strength, and continuous renewal with this hand-carved Greenstone Nephrite Jade Koru Breastplate Pendant.

In traditional Māori culture, the Breastplate (Kahurangi / Shield shape) is a revered symbol of emotional fortitude, leadership, stability, and spiritual defense. Harmoniously combined with the Koru (unfurling fern frond) at its center, this piece represents new beginnings, peaceful growth, inner harmony, and the eternal flow of life.

Hand-carved from authentic top-grade nephrite jade (pounamu), this pendant presents a bold 60mm length with a smooth, polished finish that showcases the stone's rich dark-green tones and natural internal grain. The pendant is framed by intricate black lashing on both ends and attached to a premium plaited luxury cord featuring a hand-carved jade toggle closure, with an adjustable maximum length of 750mm for a perfect custom drape.

Thoughtfully presented in a signature Carving Studio NZ canvas gift pouch, each pendant comes complete with a printed story meaning card detailing the rich cultural symbolism of the Koru Breastplate — making it a meaningful keepsake or gift.
