The journey begins with pounamu—formed over millions of years within the landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand before being carefully discovered. Every piece carries the unique character of the stone, shaped by nature long before it reaches the hands of the carver. Through skilled craftsmanship, the story of the pounamu and the journey of its creator become intertwined, transforming the stone into a meaningful taonga to be treasured, worn, and passed down through generations.
