Each piece captures a unique essence of New Zealand.

NZ Greenstone

set in Sterling Silver

Greenstone or Pounamu was always the most precious of things for Maori. Because of its hardness and toughness, it made the best tools, the best weapons, as well as the most beautiful ornaments, and was regarded like diamonds.

What Maori Call their spiritual connectedness with Jade, has led all New Zealanders to love and respect it, and to regard it as our national stone.
