Hei Tiki RASTA

Pounamu comes straight from nature, found in the beautiful rivers of New Zealand. It is rare, and every piece is unique. Only when you cut the stone are its unique properties, patterns and details revealed. Some pounamu is dark and rich, others are vibrant, while flower jade has glorious golden-yellow hues that run through the stone.

No two pieces of pounamu are identical, making your gift truly one-of-a-kind. We believe this uniqueness makes it something incredibly precious.

Our artists are deeply connected to pounamu and love spending time in their workshop, carving stories into stone. They work carefully with their hands, designing and shaping the piece as the stone speaks to them. This means when you choose pounamu as a gift, you select craftsmanship centred around love and consideration.

Our pieces come with a fold-out artist profile card to learn more about the hands that made your piece.

We say our pieces are ‘carved for generations’, and we mean just that. When a piece is worn by someone close to their heart, it takes on their mauri (life force or essence) over their lifetime. Then, it can be passed on to someone else, who will add their essence and spirit to the stone. And so, the cycle continues, with each wearer building the legacy, stories and significance of the piece.

Our pieces are created to be loved forever and to last forever. In a world where gifts lack permanence, is there anything more beautiful?

When you choose pounamu, you are making more than a purchasing choice. Instead, you are connecting with someone in a way that will forever unite you. Traditionally, pounamu is gifted between friends and family to represent a deep and meaningful connection and symbolise love that will last forever.

Pounamu keeps loved ones connected, regardless of where life takes them.
