Pikorua meaning:
Pikorua (twist) is a contemporary design resembling two intertwined pikopiko ferns; a native species of Aotearoa. The interconnectivity of the organic pikopiko form connotes a sense of emergence. It is often seen to symbolise a human connection between two where their souls come together in aroha, making it a heartfelt gift for a significant person in one's life.
