This Maori Bone Love Twist Necklace is a beautiful 2-sided design from Peter Mitchell, who descends from the Ngati Toa iwi of Porirua.

The front of this single twist necklace has a beautiful single koru carved into the lower edge.

The back of the love twist necklace has two koru carved into the lower edge.

Peter carves these beautiful cow bone necklaces with one design on the front and a different design on the back.  Two necklaces in one!

He is a master carver, having carved for museums and exhibitions over the past 30 years.  We are lucky to have a few of his pieces.

The twist necklace carries a spiritual meaning.  It represents two fern shoots growing together, and signifies undying love or friendship between two people.

The koru design also carries a spiritual meaning, one of peace, tranquility, new beginnings, and positive change.

The necklace is bound with a strong plaited cord with adjustable knot, so you can position it where you want on your chest.

The cow bone necklace measures approximately 5cm (2") long.

Peter doesn't bleach his carvings to a pure white, so you will still see the natural striations in the bone.  

Proudly carved in New Zealand, and shipped worldwide.
