Stone Arrow Kia Kaha Be Strong Sterling Silver Ring Stone Arrow Kia Kaha Be Strong Sterling Silver Ring
One of my personal favorites from Nick Feint's handmade Sterling Silver Stone Arrow jewellery range is this 'Kia Kaha' Ring, carrying a message of personal empowerment.
Wearing it on your hand, in front of you all day, keeps you focused on your inner strength. Kia Kaha (pronounced "key-ah car-ha") is a Maori expression meaning 'be strong', used as encouragement when times are tough.
The Kia Kaha ring is handmade, with a hand-beaten finish. This gives it a better look than a perfectly rounded ring. On the outside is Kia Kaha, and on the inside is the English translation, "Inner Strength".
The ring is perfect for both men and women.
There are lots of good reasons for giving this as a gift.
Give it to a young person facing school exams; a friend facing mental or physical adversity; a family member taking on a new challenge in life; a brother going to war; or give it to yourself to aid your walk thru life.
Order now, and Nick will make to your ring size. Please choose your ring size from the dropdown box above. If your size is not listed, enter it in the "Options" box above. For a ring size comparison chart, click here.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK: “The Kia Kaha ring by Nick Feint is brilliant. When I received it in the mail I put it on and haven’t taken it off. I asked for a size L and it fits perfectly. I like the idea of a ring with a message and this one reads clearly ‘kia kaha’ and the translation ‘inner strength’ on the inside. All the rings I have in my jewellery box are factory made but this is my first ring that looks nice and reminds me of something important. If you are like me and wouldn’t want to wear a T shirt with a large message emblazoned on it then this ring is for you, beautiful and subtle, a personal message for yourself and something different for other’s to admire and even desire. Thank you to Nick Feint.”Sincerely, Avon
