Green Stone Necklaces, Bracelets & Pendants

Our collection of Pounamu Greenstone are all handmade locally in the South Island of New Zealand.

Each of our New Zealand greenstone pounamu necklaces is finished to the highest quality, lovingly carved by hand.

The South Island is also known as Te Waipounamu, which translates to “the waters of greenstone”, and is the only place in New Zealand that greenstone is found.
