Description

This beautiful little star pendant necklace is cast in 9ct alluvial gold from New Zealand and measures approximately 1.5cm across. It comes with a 45cm gold plated sterling silver chain, or there is the option to include a solid 9ct gold 45cm chain at an additional cost if you wish.

The star is hand-stamped with the word “Aroha” on the reverse meaning love and compassion. If you prefer a different word (up to 5 letters per star) you can select to have your pendant necklace personalised for free.  Just enter the word you would like in the box provided when you place your order.

This necklace represents the star (and constellation) Matariki or Pleiades. In many indigenous cultures world-wide, the constellation Pleiades is important. Matariki signifies the beginning of the Māori New Year when it rises above the horizon at dawn in mid-winter. It is a time of reflection about the year past, preparation for the year ahead, and a chance to celebrate the value of friends, family and community.
