We are proud to introduce this beautiful piece from Rerehua Boutique - the AKE AKE AKE NECKLACE - Forever, and evermore.

This necklace is a proclamation to state forever and evermore, or as long as it takes. More commonly you hear these words at the end of a karakia as an affirmation of unity and solidarity.
"During the peaceful movement of Ihumatao in Tāmaki Makaurau this saying became infamous as a statement of protection against the development of the unique landscape. These kupu symbolise resilience, strength and determination".

18K Gold or Rhodium Silver Plating Engraved 40mm Pendant on a 2mm Cuban Chain 18" Necklace +5cm extension.

This item is presented on a black box with gold Rerehua branding, perfect for presenting as a gift.

Artist statement:

"He uri māua nō Kai Tahu, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Whātua me Ngāpuhi.
Rerehua Boutique started as a lockdown project and by May 2022 we launched our e-commerce business online. We are based in Tāmaki Makaurau and our kaupapa is about creating taonga that celebrates the indigenous language and heritage of Aotearoa.
We have been working in education and the social services sector for over 10 years and Rerehua Boutique is a creative outlet for the aroha we have for the reo, tikanga and kaupapa Māori.
Our aspirations for this kaupapa is to create beautiful, quality and stylish taonga that can be worn for any occasion, particularly in professional spaces. We are unapologetically proud to be Māori and we hope when you wear our taonga that you feel confident, empowered and proud to whakanui and represent the indigenous reo and heritage of Aotearoa
Mauri ora!"
