Historical and Geological Significance Fenland bog oak, aged between 5,000 and 8,000 years, is a rare and extraordinary material formed when oak trees became submerged in peat bogs, preserving them in an oxygen-deprived environment. This preservation process gives the wood its deep, almost black hue and rich, earthy undertones, embodying the wisdom and resilience of ancient landscapes.
Cultural and Spiritual Meaning The roimata shape, inspired by Māori culture, symbolizes healing, growth, and emotional strength. Often regarded as a talisman of resilience, it offers protection and guidance through life’s challenges, making this pendant a deeply meaningful piece. Bog oak’s grounding energy is believed to connect the wearer to ancient wisdom, offering stability, balance, and a sense of continuity through time.
The addition of a 925 sterling silver pin at the bottom of the pendant introduces a contemporary element while enhancing the pendant's spiritual properties. Silver is associated with clarity, intuition, and protection, complementing the grounding and transformative qualities of the bog oak.
Crafted with Care This pendant is polished with linseed oil and finished with a coat of locally sourced Brays Bees wax, enhancing the natural grain and preserving the wood’s timeless beauty. Suspended on an adjustable waxed nylon cord, it’s designed for versatile wear, allowing you to adjust the length to suit your style.
A Connection to the Ancient and Eternal Perfect for those seeking a piece of history, this Fenland bog oak roimata pendant is a wearable reminder of the resilience of nature and the enduring strength found in connection with the past.
