Whanau Silver Pendant – Worth and Douglas
A Family Pendant Means So Much
This necklace blends elements of traditional Maori culture with modern jewelry design for a unique and beautiful look which you can wear anywhere. Whanau is a Maori word meaning family, or extended family. Whanau can be a small family unit, or refer to any blood relation.
In traditional Maori culture, Whanau were close knit groups, self-sufficient in most things except defense. Whanau had a special focus on nurturing the old and young for the benefit of all, and the interconnectedness of the Whanau allowed the group to thrive where one alone would struggle. Whanau is a word which is used often in New Zealand, by Maori and non-Maori alike.
The interwoven strands of the Whanau pendant represent how the strands of our lives are interwoven with the lives of our families. A pendant which means ‘Family’ allows you to hold your family close to your heart. This silver pendant makes a wonderful New Zealand souvenir for that special someone. It’s also a great way to greet someone new to your Whanau, to show them just how much they mean to you.
Dimensions: Whanau measures 33mm across. The leather cord is 335mm long; the silver chain is 240mm long.
