Natalie Kere Walker Pounamu Pendant - Rectangle

This stunning contemporary pendant is created by local artist Natalie Kere Walker. 

This is a large piece of West Coast pounamu (NZ greenstone) with a stainless steel chain.

Presented in a box with care instructions and an info card.

Dimensions: Pounamu is 35mm wide, and 25mm tall. Chain is 76cm long end to end, with a lobster claw clasp to open it (although it easily slips over your head). The pounamu itself is attached with a press clasp, meaning you can also easily remove the pounamu and add something else to this chain (or add additional pieces/charms/ribbon etc to the pounamu pendant to really customise it)

This is a unique one off piece of jewellery.

Artist statement:
"I'm a Contemporary Maori Artist. I whakapapa to Kāi Tahu and Ngāti Kuia. I have always been drawn to creative outlets, especially art since a young age.
My Dad is a Master Carver in Wood and Oamaru Stone. His passion for Māori Art has been passed down to me. My passion came from creating Pounamu (Greenstone) and other beautiful stones, out of a two pot epoxy resin, using spray cans to manipulate the pour to imitate stone.
Currently I have been adding to my creativity and have introduced carving contemporary jewellery from stone I have found. This has turned into addictive passion I want to pursue more.
Learning more about my culture through Te Reo Māori, Whānau and research I am further developing my cultural passion. I hope others can feel the same way when viewing or purchasing my pieces"
