The heart of the Aroha collection is inspired by love. The feeling that is generated from generosity. It's a combination of colour, textures and indigenous forms that help to craft this distinctive jewellery range. It's about enjoying the simple things in life, creating forms that can be identified as a message of love.

Roimata/Teardrop - Named for their teardrop shape, meaning tears of sadness or grief, and are widely regarded as touchstones in healing and meditation.
