A simple and common pendant form around the world, the roimata or teardrop pendant is an elegant form that allows the colour and patterns of richly-marked stones to be fully displayed - and what a richly-marked piece this one is! Carved from a beautiful piece of inanga jade found in Griffin Creek on New Zealand's West Coast, this lovely pendant shows vivid, multi-hued streaking on one side, and chocolatey cloud-like markings on the other - allowing it to be worn either way around for a strikingly different look.
 
Measuring in at 82mm long and 24mm wide at its widest point, this pendant is a thin fillet of stone that showcases its colour while carrying negligible weight. This makes it the kind of piece suited to even the most petite wearer. Its high gloss finish shows off its full colour range to dramatic effect.
