The roimata or teardrop pendant is an extremely common pendant-form around the world, and the Maori were just as inclined to wear it as were any other culture. This roimata has been prepared with a flat face - a design that shows off the high sheen this particular example of jade possesses. Its form is pointed rather than round - a design that suits V-necked outfits very well.
 
Measuring in at 87mm long and 28mm wide at its widest point, this is a slender and lightweight piece suited to even a petite wearer. Its soft, pale hues are an excellent compliment to dark outfits, including formal and professional wear.
