Whanau Silver Pendant – Tahi Jewelry A Stunning Family Pendant
Tahi Jewelry draws upon elements of traditional Maori culture and Maori jewelry to bring you something truly unique. This stunning silver pendant is based on the Maori word Whanau meaning family and extended family. Whanau can be as wide as any blood relation, or can refer to a small family unit.
In traditional Maori culture, Whanau were close knit, self-sufficient groups with a focus on nurturing the old and young for the benefit of all. As with all families, the interconnectedness of the Whanau allowed the group to thrive where one alone would struggle. Whanau is a word which is often heard in New Zealand, and is used by Maori and non-Maori alike.
The interlocking strands of this silver pendant represent Ara i te Ora, or the Path of Life. The figure of eight in this piece represents the joining of two people. Although loved ones may move out of our day to day lives, once they have been joined, they will always return. The triple and double twists represent a joining together of two people or two cultures for eternity.
Elegant and understated enough to be worn every day, yet special enough for those special occasions, you’ll find yourself wearing this silver Whanau pendant everywhere. Beautiful as well as meaningful, a Family Pendant allows you to hold your family close to your heart.
