Your piece is waiting

Over millions of years, pounamu has formed. It is rare and found only in New Zealand's South Island. Steeped in meaning and tradition, pounamu is often gifted between loved ones as a way of staying forever connected to one another and to New Zealand. As pounamu is gifted and passed down through generations, it will increase in mana (prestige), and carry with it rich histories, stories, and the spirit of previous wearers.

Our friendly and knowledgeable team can help you find a unique and meaningful gift for your loved ones or a personal piece to treasure forever.

Meet our Rotorua artists

Our artists work 7 days a week in the Mountain Jade Carving Studio. You're welcome to pop in at any time and see their latest work or speak to Tamaora Walker and Akapita Scally about custom carvings and repairs. You can also join one of our daily tours to learn about the art of carving jade and the history of New Zealand pounamu.

Tour our Carving Studio

If you're looking for an in-depth introduction to pounamu, our Mountain Jade Highlights Tour is an unforgettable experience you won't want to miss. You'll be guided by an expert who will take you through the rich history and cultural significance of pounamu, and you'll get to witness the intricate process of jade carving firsthand in our studio. Our local artists will be there to personally demonstrate the carving process and share their stories, knowledge and expertise. And to top it all off, you'll get to select your very own piece of pounamu and learn how to string it into a necklace to take home.
