This adjustable bracelet features an authentic New Zealand Pounamu (nephrite jade) bead, set on a durable waxed polyester cord and finished with a macramé sliding box knot closure. Designed for everyday wear, the bracelet adjusts easily to fit most wrist sizes, offering both comfort and resilience.
Each bead is unique, reflecting the natural variety of Pounamu — from deep forest greens to lighter, translucent shades, with subtle inclusions and markings that speak to the stone’s geological history. No two bracelets are ever alike, making yours a truly individual taonga (treasure).
✨ Spiritual Significance
• Protection: Traditionally worn to safeguard the wearer from harm and negative energies.
• Strength & Resilience: Pounamu embodies endurance, courage, and a deep connection to the whenua (land).
• Connection & Unity: Often gifted to honour relationships, symbolising love, respect, and lasting bonds.
To the Māori of Aotearoa New Zealand, Pounamu is more than a stone — it is a taonga (treasure), gifted between families, carried as protective talismans, and imbued with mana (spiritual authority, prestige). It is often seen as a living material, one that gathers wairua (spirit, essence) from its wearer over time, becoming deeply personal and sacred.
In the wider metaphysical community, nephrite jade is valued as a stone of healing, balance, and resilience. It is believed to:
• 🌿 Ground and protect – shielding the aura from negative energies while keeping the wearer connected to the earth.
• 💚 Encourage emotional balance – soothing the heart, easing stress, and fostering harmony in relationships.
• ✨ Manifest abundance and growth – long associated with prosperity, fertility, and renewal.
• 🪶 Strengthen spiritual connection – particularly for those who feel drawn to ancestral energy or earth-centered practices.
Carrying or wearing even a small tumble of Pounamu is thought to bring a sense of calm strength, acting as both a protector and a companion on life’s journey. Many choose to meditate with Pounamu in hand, keep it close as a pocket stone, or use it as a touchstone for grounding during stressful times.
⚛️ Science & Geology
• Mineral: Nephrite Jade (calcium magnesium silicate).
• Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale — tough and highly durable.
• Geography: Found in rivers and mountains of New Zealand’s South Island, where it holds cultural and spiritual significance for Māori.
🌿 Handmade with Care
Because each Pounamu bead is different in size, shape, and shade, your bracelet will be one of a kind, chosen at random from my collection of hand-drilled stones.
Photos are captured under LED lighting to ensure true color representation, though slight variations may occur depending on individual lighting conditions.
