I don’t make jewellery for profit — it’s just something I love doing. For every piece sold, I’ll donate $5 to a NZ charity like SPCA, HUHA, St John or the Rescue Helicopters. All profits go to a good cause, so every little sparkle helps!

A Stone with Ancestral Significance This greenstone is sourced from Taiwan — homeland of the Indigenous Austronesian peoples. Many researchers believe that the ancestors of Maori began their migration from this region thousands of years ago, eventually navigating across the Pacific and settling Aotearoa. Because of this shared whakapapa across the Pacific, the stone carries a sense of connection, journey, and heritage that resonates beyond its physical form. While not authenticated pounamu from Aotearoa, it shares many of the same natural qualities, strength, and beauty, while remaining an affordable alternative for everyday wear.

Spiritual Meaning Greenstone has long been associated with qualities traditionally valued in men:

• Strength and courage
• Grounding and resilience
• Calmness under pressure
• Protection and clarity of purpose

Its unique geology — formed under immense pressure over millions of years — reflects endurance, stability, and the ability to thrive in challenging conditions. Whether worn for its deeper meaning or simply because it looks great, this piece is crafted to last and made to be worn.
