Embrace the fusion of ancient materials and cultural artistry with our Fenland Bog Oak Māori Roimata Tear Drop Pendant. This handcrafted pendant features a central inlay of New Zealand rainbow Pāua abalone shell, creating a striking contrast against the deep, dark hues of the bog oak.

Cultural Significance:

The Roimata (tear drop) shape is a traditional Māori design symbolizing the flow of tears and the concept of healing, emotional strength, and comfort. It represents a sense of peace and is often given as a gift to express empathy and support.

Wood Significance:

Fenland bog oak, preserved in the peat bogs of the Fenlands for thousands of years, carries a rich historical and cultural legacy. This ancient wood, with its unique dark coloration and intricate grain patterns, is revered in Celtic traditions. It is associated with endurance, protection, and ancient wisdom, making it a powerful material for spiritual and protective talismans.

Stone Significance:

The New Zealand rainbow Pāua abalone shell is renowned for its iridescent beauty and vibrant colors. In Māori culture, Pāua is considered a symbol of prosperity, peace, and good fortune. The shell’s shimmering hues are believed to carry the energy of the ocean, promoting emotional balance and tranquility.

Spiritual Significance:

Combining the ancient Fenland bog oak with the luminous Pāua abalone shell, this pendant serves as a powerful talisman. The bog oak provides a connection to ancient wisdom and resilience, while the Pāua shell brings an element of tranquility and prosperity. Together, they create a harmonious blend that supports emotional healing, balance, and spiritual strength.

Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.

Suspended from an adjustable waxed nylon cord, this pendant allows you to customize its length to your preference. The dark cord complements the warm, earthy tones of the Rimu wood, creating a harmonious union of natural elements.
