Ric Moor
The artist behind this creationRic has worked as a jade carver for more than 17 years. He was initially attracted to jade as a medium because of its sense of permanency.
Through his craft he has been able to discover and define himself as a person, a teacher, as kaitiaki of pounamu and as a New Zealander - Ngāti Pākehā - who identifies strongly with Māori culture.
The Roimata's tear-drop shape embodies the idea of healing and resilience, reminding us of the strength within our tears.
The Roimata
Roimata in Māori translates to tears, and when carved in pounamu, the tear-drop shape of the stone speaks to the depths of human emotion and the enduring connection between nature and spirituality. Just as natural world finds balance in its cycles, the Roimata, is thought to restore balance and well-being to those who wear it and is worn as a protective talisman, guiding individuals through life's ups and downs.
