Arohanui Necklace

We are proud to introduce these beautiful pieces from Rerehua Boutique - the Arohanui necklaces. 

Arohanui - means lots of love in te reo Māori. When you observe the word aroha you can break it down to aro and hā. The definition of these two words provide us with a deeper understanding of the kupu, aroha. 

Aro = to face towards, to focus on, to pay attention

Hā = to breathe, to taste, sound, tone,  essence

Nui = many, abundant, to be plentiful, generous

This item is presented in a custom matte black gift box with gold Rerehua branding and foam insert, perfect for presenting as a gift. 

Available in 18K Gold and Rhodium Silver Stainless Steel Puff Heart 15mm on a 2mm Cuban Chain 20" Necklace +5cm extension.

Rerehua Boutique Stainless Steel Jewellery is non-tarnish, hypoallergenic, durable, beautiful and long lasting pieces that should be handled with care. Avoid contact with chemicals, chlorine or other liquids.
