Pounamu is New Zealand greenstone — a treasured stone found on the West Coast, carved and worn for generations. It carries history, meaning and mana (spiritual power and prestige).

Yes! Every piece is legally sourced and authenticated through the Ngāi Tahu Pounamu Authentication Scheme.

Yes. Every piece is hand-carved and hand-bound, so no two are ever exactly the same. What you receive is shaped by hand, start to finish in our workshop.

Keep it simple — avoid harsh chemicals, don't let it drop on hard surfaces, and give it an occasional wipe with a soft cloth. Read our full care guide here.

Each carving carries its own meaning. Toki represents strength and mastery. Manawa speaks to the heart and health. Koru reflects new life and new beginnings. Learn more about stone meanings here.

Once orders are received, processing can take 24-48 hours. Please allow 3-5 business days for NZ-wide shipping and 5-8 business days for international orders.
