Carving Meaning: The Koru, Which is Often Used in Maori Art as a Symbol of Creation, is a Scroll Shape that is Linked to New Zealand Fern Plants; Specifically, the New Zealand Silver Fern. The Shoot of the Fern has a Curled-over Tip which Unfurls to Eventually Become a Fern Leaf. As it Reaches up Towards the Light, the New Fern Shoot Strives for Perfection to Encourage New Positive Beginnings. The Spiral Circular Shape Conveys the Geometry of Life Being a Sacred Creation and the Idea of Perpetual Movement. The Inward Coil Suggests a Return to the Point of Origin. The Koru Therefore Symbolizes the Way in Which Life Both Changes and Stays the Same. The Koru is an Integral Symbol in Maori Carvings and Tattoos and the Shape is Often Carved Using Bone or Shells. Overall, the Koru Represents the Unfolding of New Life, New Beginnings, Growth, Strength, Peace and Movement that is Shared with Another Person (Eternal Friendship). Everything is Reborn and Continues, a Renewal and Hope for the Future. The Bottom Half Portion's Parallel Line Indicates a Path One Takes During Their Lifetime; The Perpendicular Lines Each Represent Certain Obstacles a Person Encounters During Their Life. Each Trial and Hardship is Overcome and Resolved in a Positive Manner to Ultimately Achieve a Peaceful and Eternal Resting Place. Mother of Pearl Care: Use mild soaps and water on mother of pearl to clean it, and avoid storing it with jewelry which may scratch it and wear away the luminous layers of nacre. About Australian Gold Lip Oysters: A large species of oyster, from the Pinctada maxima family, that can produce cream to gold-colored South Sea pearls. Gold-lip oysters can be found in the waters off Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. The Gold Lip pearl oyster has been valued by people in the IndoPacific region for centuries. Its shell was used for making jewelry, decorations, and tools, such as fish hooks and knives. The Gold Lip Oysters’ “mother of pearl” inner shell has beautiful iridescent qualities with a golden yellow background color. This pendant is created from Australian Mother of Pearl shells, the same shell of the oysters that give birth to superb South Sea Golden Pearls. The Gold Lip Mother of Pearl shell is surface polished to display a beautiful golden shine along with its natural rainbow colored hues and iridescence. Gorgeous and radiant in appearance!
