This precious stone has surged to the earth’s surface as a result of the movement of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates over many years.

This deep connection is clearly reflected through the way each stone is individually carved into a different native identity. Take the Koru, for example, this spiral carving depicts new beginnings, life, and hope. The twisted greenstone (Pikaru) symbolizes the bond between two people, connecting the lives of friends, family, or loved ones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of our New Zealand jade carvings is hand-carved and in a variety of hues and colours, so you know that each piece that you own will always be completely unique to you.
