Mamarua pendants are made in Aotearoa.
The designs each originated as a carving. We then utilize a molding technique and use recycled material to create these beautifully crafted mementos of the South Pacific.
Due to the nature of recycled material each pendant tends to harness its own individuality.
The recycled material Mamarua uses is a recycled synthetic resin and using a process of molding. The recycled material has numerous variations within it therefore the process of drying, re-grinding and screening is critical. The actual recycled material itself is waste / scrap from other molded products like display stands, covers, plastic components etc. The scrap is collected, chipped and screened – it is a lot more time consuming than using virgin material and if we didn't use it would go into our landfills.
Mamarua has 3 current designs - Aroha, Koru & Nautilus.
