Ref.CR0072 - Pikorua (double twist)

The Twist, or pikorua in Māori, is a contemporary pounamu design with origins in the native New Zealand landscape, where it is said to depict two intertwining pikopiko fern fronds. The meaning of the pounamu Twist is that it connects the spirit of friends, family and loved ones, bringing them closer together even when they're apart.

The eight-shaped single twist symbolizes the strength of the bond between two people, their loyalty and friendship. It signifies the spiritual merger of two people for eternity. Although people will take different paths in their lives they will always be connected and will return to each other. It symbolises always being with one another regardless of where your journey takes you.

The double twist is also an eternity symbol and refers to the bond between people of different cultures rather than individuals. These Maori pendants were traditionally given offering friendship between different tribes.
