A New Zealand Maori Greenstone (Jade) pendant - Current bid £60

Joseph's Grandmother (the boys call her Namba) wished to contribute towards the charity auction by sending over this very pretty Greenstone (Jade) Maori pendant. The stone was both sourced and carved in New Zealand.

The triple and double twist design represents the joining together of two people, or two cultures for eternity and even though they may experience life's ups and downs, they remain bonded by friendship and loyalty for life.
