Our Story
Fifteen years ago, we created our first resin jewellery piece and gave it to our brother-in-law, who still wears it proudly today. We craft our art from home by a husband-and-wife team.
Richard, a skilled wood carver trained by his father, shapes each piece with care, while I focus on the design. What began as a hobby has grown into a community of around 2,500 members on our Facebook page.
Our concept is inspired by the taonga our people cherished in the past, including whale bone and greenstone. As these materials are expensive, we chose to create sperm whale tooth designs and the most precious of all, the Tiki, for our sons who perform, and for our nieces and nephews.
We are proud to see many kapa haka groups wearing our taonga on the Matatini stage. We also provide taonga to Kohanga Reo and Kura Kaupapa schools.
What sets our taonga apart is our unique style and affordability. All pieces are sent via Track and Trace with a signature required at the Post Shop. We have also shipped many packages to Australia.
