Hand Carved Pounamu Roimata – Tear Drop

The Roimata, or tear drop, is a symbol of emotion, healing, and connection. It represents the strength found in shared experiences — carrying both sorrow and comfort, and the ability to move forward with understanding and compassion.

Traditionally worn as an earring, the Roimata holds a deep sense of presence and connection to the heart. Today, it continues to be worn as a meaningful taonga, often gifted to show support, care, and unity.

Each piece is individually handcrafted from natural pounamu, with its own unique colour, pattern, and character. No two are ever the same, making every Roimata a personal and significant piece.

These taonga are created to be worn close, offering a sense of grounding, connection, and quiet strength.
