Pendant NZ Jade 'Architecture Plate'
Architecture Plate – New Zealand Greenstone Pendant
The Architecture Plate pendant is a contemporary design carved from New Zealand greenstone (pounamu), celebrating balance, structure, and natural beauty. Its clean rectangular form reflects the strength and simplicity often found in architectural design, while the layered elements above the stone create a striking sense of depth and harmony.
The pendant features a smooth pounamu plate displaying soft natural tones that transition from warm golden hues to pale green, with unique earthy inclusions that make the stone truly one of a kind. Above the plate sit slender accent layers of greenstone and darker stone, forming a subtle architectural “cap” that frames the pendant and highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.
In Māori tradition, pounamu is a treasured stone valued for its strength, connection, and enduring presence. Often gifted as a meaningful taonga (treasure), it carries the mana of both the stone and the wearer.
The Architecture Plate design brings together modern artistic expression and the timeless beauty of natural greenstone. Suspended from a woven cord, it is a distinctive piece that reflects stability, creativity, and the enduring relationship between nature and design.
