Charlotte Penman Jade + Gold Matariki Necklace

Matariki is connected to the health and well-being of people. At times Matariki is viewed as an omen of good fortune and health. She is widely known as the mother of the eight stars.

From Charlotte Penman's Collaboration with the Auckland Museum, and in celebration of the Māori New Year - Matariki.

14k rolled gold jewellery is considerably thicker than gold plate, depending on how often you wear your pieces, they can last anywhere from 5 years to a lifetime.

Rolled gold - Rolled gold jewellery is composed of a solid layer of 14k gold bonded with heat and pressure to a bronze or brass base.

Because of this thick layer it is safe for the majority of people with sensitive skin who are able to wear solid gold to wear it. Many Victorian jewellery pieces are made from rolled gold and are still in great condition after more than a century.
