Thank you the pounamu is beautiful and represents my moko so well. The colours of the stone represent the complexity of our whānau. The the shape and quality of the pounamu is awesome. I could not be happier with my purchase. The delivery was super quick at a busy time of the year.

Thanks heaps - Lynn

Kia Ora, he tino ataahua enei taonga, pono te nuinga hoki. I hoko au I enei no toku mama mo kirihimete, i ki atu ia “me te rearea hoki”. Tena koe :) Hi, these earrings are so beautiful, true to size as well. I bought these for my mum for Christmas and she says they are so stunning. Thank you :)

Kia Ora All Just a message to say that purchasing this ring has been the best purchase this year !!! The craftmanship and stone is above my expectation and I am so so stocked. Kia Ora to Jess Decon for a more in-depth history lesson on the website. This will be shared with Whanau as they have different opinions on the history of Pounamu. Diamonds have never been this girl's best friend only Paua and Pounamu... Im so pleased to have found your website as my usual place to purchase is no longer available, and I dont purchase through big Retail Chain Stores. Kiwiana and local always for us.. I will be back again to purchase more pieces in time for my Mokos , lucky Whanau and friends.. And of course, singing your praises and sharing your website on social media. Again thankyou for my beautiful piece..

Hi team It’s a long story with amazing serendipity in the background, but suffice to say I popped into your store a few months ago when visiting Christchurch, looking for just the right pendants for wedding gifts for our son and new daughter-in-law who were about to be married in Colombia. It was a bit of a journey at the very end of the business day (sorry, I know I was picky but wanted the pieces to feel right in my hand and to feel right together). I really appreciated the time both of you spent with me and the intuitive understanding that we needed a pair from the same artist. Our older son carried the Taonga to Colombia and explained the provenance of the gifts and of the artist. I think the photos show that our older son made sure not only the wedding guests but also the photographer understood the meaning of the pendants, as you can see from the images below. I hope you enjoy the photos and we would be very grateful if you would pass them to the artist, with our heartfelt thanks.

- Kind regards from the Watson family in Tauranga and Colombia

Me aroha, truly adore both my purchases - most days i wear Lilygriffin Rangatira earrings, they go with most of what I wear and I truly feel great in them. People always comment. I have other pounamu from you I'm truly reluctant to go anywhere else. Thank you

Living in Canada and being an Islander, there aren't many resources near me to find items of my heritage. Finding this beautiful gem was a gift to my girlfriend and being a Canadian born with French and Italian bloodlines, it is my duty to expose her to the lifestyle and traditions we hold dear to our people. I couldn't have picked a better item to signify my feelings for her and keep true to my origins than this piece. I gave it with the understanding that our lives will be forever intertwined and that it will be a pledge that our course will lead to marriage. The cost was fair and the piece arrived exactly as I ordered it. It came much faster than I anticipated. This Pounamu will be forever on her body and now I am looking for a new Matau for myself as I adorn one on my body and never take it off. Thank you for the precise delivery of the art piece, the effective cost, the visuals to choose from and even the history behind it (the artist's name). I will purchase from this company again and anticipate the high quality craftsmanship.

Thank you - Kekoa Mana

Kia ora Deane, I confirm I have received Kelvin’s Hei Tiki - and again, the tiki is better than I envisioned. It’s perfect in the sense that I can see what ‘mass produced tiki’s’ are trying to emulate/copy. It is this type of tiki they want to try and reproduce - it’s amazing.

"Brilliant help from the team! I am near Sydney, so could not go into the store, but I phoned the store and a very helpful lady guided me through the information I was after — and even arranged for a gentleman at the store to model the two Tikis I was interested in. When it arrived, I was over the moon with the tiki."

Hi Team, AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for everything. They came in a lovely bag and a little leaflet that tells you in brief a little history of greenstone/pounamu. I was officially blown away! Thank you so much!!! Over delivered in every way! The product itself was beautiful and of great craftmanship. I am a very happy customer and will tell everyone!

- Thank you, Juanita A'Costa

Hi there, We are absolutely delighted with these earrings. My daughter was blown away and just loved them. The color and quality of design/manufacture of the pounamu is stunning. I will be back for my older daughters 18th to purchase a Pounamu neck piece and earrings. In addition the service was exceptional. With a quick delivery as stated. Its a 12 out of 10 from me. Thank you so much. Great product and service.

Hi Moko Pounamu, Contemporary Koru selected as a gift for a departing staff member – the photo wasn’t able to do the artists sculpture justice – Thank you for a beautifully crafted memento.

Hi, I bought the pounamu for my son's birthday which is the 26th July. I'm travelling up from Tauranga to Auckland to give this precious gift to him, which I'm sure he will be blown away. Thank you for art, imagination and hard work. Ka mau te wehi! So impressed with the express courier to my doorstep. Keep doing what you're doing.
Button
Kia ora, I had nerves about buying what I consider a taonga, online. Photos can be deceptive as can words. The niho arrived and exceeded expectation. I felt te mauri upon opening the gift box. And realised how silly I’d been to have felt so nervous. I appreciated the straightforwardness of your purchasing process, speed of delivery & probs most of all, the email communication throughout the process. I’m very thankful to have had this experience with you.

- Mauri ora. Te Ataarangi.

Kia ora Terri, Thanks very much for your email and shipping updateI received the shipment yesterday - on my birthday! Needless to say, the surprise was perfect. The Pounamu is indeed gorgeous. My husband and I spent two months exploring both of New Zealand’s islands in early 2019 (and saw the great artistry of Ross Crump and Luke Gardiner first hand.) We’ve never been welcomed more warmly on any of our travels and fell in love - not only with your country’s magnificent landscapes, but with the people. When it came to shopping for my birthday, I wanted to give back a little more of the kind manaakitanga we experienced.
Button
You guys were fabulous! The service was outstanding. Probably the best customer service I’ve had. I live in Auckland so was a bit worried it would take awhile to get here but you said it would be delivered the next day and it was. The greenstone was beautiful and nicely packaged. Excellent price too. It was for my sons birthday and he loved it... he hasn’t taken it off. I will definitely be recommending you guys to everyone. Thank you☺️

Therefor I give you 9.5 STARS. Thanks again,

Kia ora koutou I have been meaning to write to say thank you. Just all a bit hectic getting my son away and settled. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The toki/koru I bought for my son just resonated with him straight away and he was blown away. It seems it was just what he needed to help him on his way so thank you so much. And mine is just beautiful....I really love it.

Tēnā koe, All the pieces I have brought from you guys have been amazing, which is why I have been back so many times already. I love the strength in the binding and how beautiful the pounamu are. I have recently bought a piece for my wife, and my younger and older brothers each of which was different and spoke to their characters. This was made possible through the extensive range you provide which was one of the key reasons I first found your business. Nō reira, he mihi ana tēnei ki a koutou. Keep up the great work.
