Greenstone Nephrite Jade Manaia Guardian Pendant – 41mm Hand-Carved Necklace with Luxury Gift Box | Carving Studio NZ

Embrace spiritual defense, divine guidance, and inner strength with this beautifully hand-carved Greenstone Nephrite Jade Manaia Guardian Pendant.

In traditional Māori culture, the Manaia is a revered guardian spirit depicted with the head of a bird, body of a man, and tail of a fish. Serving as a sacred messenger between the earthly world and the spiritual realm, the Manaia is worn as a powerful talisman of protection, keeping the wearer safe from negative energies while offering wisdom, balance, and guidance.

Expertly hand-carved from genuine top-grade nephrite jade (pounamu), this pendant measures 41mm x 24mm. Each curve is finely polished to highlight the natural soft-green hue, translucent depth, and smooth organic stone grain. The pendant comes ready to wear, finished with a traditional handcrafted binding cord with an adjustable fit.

Designed for meaningful gifting or personal cultural appreciation, each piece includes a beautifully printed story card detailing the legend of the Manaia, presented in a signature luxury velvet gift box.
