Whanau Silver Pendant – Tahi Jewelry
Keep Them Close with a Family Pendant
This stunning silver pendant by Tahi Jewelry draws upon traditional Maori designs to create something unique. Based on the concept of Whanau meaning family or extended family, this pendant is a beautiful way to keep your loved ones close.
Traditionally, Whanau were self-sufficient, close knit groups with a special focus on nurturing their youngest and oldest members. Like all families, the interconnected nature of the Whanau allowed them to thrive where one alone would struggle. Whanau is still an important concept in Maori culture, and the word is often heard in New Zealand, where it is used by Maori and non-Maori alike.
This pendant’s interlocking weave represents Ara i te Ora, or the Path of Life. The single twist, or figure of eight, is the symbol for eternity, which represents the joining of two people. The double and triple twists represent the joining together of two people or two cultures for eternity. Although loved ones will inevitably experience highs and lows, once bonded they will always return.
Meaningful jewelry is so much more precious. This stunning silver pendant is suitable for those special occasions as well as everyday wear, but you’re sure to find yourself wearing it regularly to keep your family close.
Dimensions: Whanau measures 33mm across. The leather cord is 335mm long; the silver chain is 240mm long.
