Waihonga Tuku Iho Necklace

This beautiful necklace is from Waihonga, based near Ookaihau

This Tuku Iho

The Tuku Iho design speaks to ancestral concepts nourished by Te Ao Māori - the koru acknowledging both the action of handing down and reaching upward to receive. This being an exchange between knowledge holders and knowledge seekers. 

Features: 

Stainless Steel with 18K Gold PVD Coating.
Hypoallergenic, waterproof, anti-tarnish. 
45cm +5cm extension chain.
3mm Figaro chain, 15mm Tuku Iho pendant.
Waihonga branded round tag.
Presented in a black box with Waihonga custom branding.

Note: PVD coating can be up to 10 times stronger than regular gold or silver plating, and is highly resistant to tarnishing and scratching. The result = far more resistance to wear.

"Ko Ambrosia Crum ahau. He uri o Ngāpuhi me Ngāti Whātua. I am Ambrosia, the creative behind Waihonga. I have worked previously as an architectural designer and heritage advisor caring for Māori architectural taonga. My most rewarding venture to date though has been becoming māmā to my little boy Troy. My partner Blair and I recently purchased our first property near Ōkaihau to return home to our whānau to enjoy this precious time with our pēpi. Waihonga allows me to focus on my creative practice, connect to my Māoritanga in new ways and create a solid foundation for my whānau."
