HA33: Down to earth pounamu pendant on handmade chain

A bar of pounamu with an almost raw finish, full of texture, is set using a simple silver band, and hung from a fine, handmade chain. The contrast between the substantial nature of the stone, and the delicacy of the chain makes this an intriguing and enjoyable piece to wear. The collection of Down to Earth pieces has evolved from originally using uncut and unpolished stone, to now using pieces that wouldn't typically be considered for use in jewellery due to their irregular shape. We love the way Helena transforms them into gorgeously wearable pieces.
