Symbolic and wearable, it offers both a meaningful connection to place and a beautifully refined finishing touch on a lapel, collar or scarf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brooch is a beautifully preserved ode to Aotearoa, pairing warm rose gold with richly toned New Zealand greenstone from the early 1900s. Crafted as a classic bar brooch, a polished rod of NZ greenstone is capped at each end with smooth 9ct rose gold and finished with angled tips that lend the piece a refined, architectural silhouette. At the centre, delicate 9ct rose gold initials “NZ” are framed by finely detailed foliate motifs, creating a proud emblem of place and heritage while adding soft, feminine texture against the cool depth of the stone. The contrast between the blush tones of the gold and the deep green pounamu gives the brooch an instantly recognisable New Zealand character, typical of local tourist and historical jewellery made in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreasured in Māori and New Zealand culture, pounamu (greenstone) is regarded as a taonga, symbolising strength, protection and deep connection to land and ancestry. Worn on the lapel, at the neckline or on a scarf, this piece becomes both an elegant finishing touch and a quiet statement of identity – equally suited to everyday wear or to marking moments of significance, from graduations to homecomings and farewells. For collectors of New Zealand jewellery and those drawn to meaningful vintage pieces, this brooch offers a rare opportunity to hold a tangible piece of our early 1900s story in gold and stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 54mm\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 10mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an estate item and comes with a one year guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44103603617880,"sku":"027-00299","price":1280.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1319\/9109\/files\/027-00299_VINTAGE_SP.jpg?v=1778820288","url":"https:\/\/walkerandhall.co.nz\/products\/vintage-9ct-rose-gold-nz-greenstone-brooch","provider":"Walker \u0026 Hall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
