The Roimata (meaning "teardrop" in Māori culture) shape symbolizes healing, strength, and the flow of positive energy. With each pendant, you carry a piece of both ancient tradition and the rich history of the whiskey-soaked oak, making it a deeply personal and meaningful piece.
Design Highlights:
Whiskey Barrel Oak Wood: The pendant is crafted from repurposed oak wood sourced from a whiskey barrel, giving it a unique character and a subtle aroma of aged whiskey. The oak, known for its strength and durability, retains traces of the spirit it once held, adding depth to the pendant's story.
Shape: The teardrop shape of the Roimata represents the flow of emotions, release of pain, and the embrace of new beginnings. Traditionally, this form is a symbol of protection and comfort, often worn to promote healing and emotional balance.
Smooth Finish: The pendant is meticulously sanded to a smooth finish, enhancing the beautiful grain patterns of the oak. It is then treated with boiled linseed oil and polished with Brays Beeswax, ensuring a rich, lustrous sheen that brings out the natural warmth of the wood.
