The closed circle is said to represent the circle of life which has no beginning or end, is seamless and of which we are all a part.  It also tells of the stars and planets which are part of the circle of life and contain the knowledge of our origins. It is often used to enclose other elements such as the Koru, linking love and new life or new beginnings with the circle of life.

The spiral is a Koru, represents the fern frond as it opens bringing new life and purity to the world, peace, tranquility and spirituality along with a strong sense of regrowth or new beginnings.

Kawakawa Stone is a New Zealand umbrella company created by Nick and Mady to combine their creative process in one location.

They carve New Zealand Pounamu (Jade) into forms from the depths of their minds and imaginations.
