Jade Twist Pikorua Necklace – Maori Symbol of Eternal Love & Friendship with Paua Shell Inlay
Celebrate connection, loyalty, and timeless love with our hand-carved Jade Pikorua Twist Necklace, featuring an elegant inlay of New Zealand Paua Shell. This petite yet powerful design honors the traditional Maori symbol of the Pikorua — a beautiful representation of two paths becoming one, signifying enduring friendship, love, and unity across time and space.
Expertly carved from authentic Boreal Nephrite Jade, also known as Greenstone, this twist pendant measures approximately 1.6 inches (40mm / 4.0cm) in length. Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the natural variation in jade color and Paua shell pattern, making your necklace a truly unique expression of spiritual and emotional connection.
The inlay of shimmering Paua shell adds a vibrant touch of ocean energy and natural beauty, catching light in dazzling shades of blue, green, and purple. These colors evoke the sea and sky, grounding this design in nature’s harmony. The Pikorua is traditionally gifted to celebrate important relationships — between friends, romantic partners, family members, or even cultures — and it serves as a reminder that no matter the distance, true connection endures.
Your necklace comes strung on a hand-braided, one-size-fits-all cord with sliding slip knots for easy adjustment to your preferred length. If you prefer a custom fit, we can also create a fixed-length cord with a toggle and loop closure upon request.
This jade twist necklace arrives in a soft gift pouch and includes a card explaining the cultural meaning of the design. It’s the perfect gift for a loved one, a symbol of lasting bonds, or a personal talisman to keep your connections close to your heart.
🌿 Embrace the spirit of unity and eternal friendship with a necklace that speaks to the soul.
