The native clematis Puawananga flower silver pendant on sterling silver chain is a new Pauanesia jewellery commission. Our largest native clematis Puawananga has stark white and fragrant flowers that sparkle in the native bush in spring.
The Maori name reflects its sacred status Puawananga - the child of two stars of the heavens. Rehua, the father whose appearance was the sign of summer coming. Puanga, the mother: was the food bringer. If her rays twinkled north a plentiful year was in prospect; if towards the south, a lean year of harvest would follow. We look forward to seeing Puawananga twinkling.
Size
The oval belcher chain measures 60cm in length.
