Pounamu has been found in the rivers and mountains of the West Coast for centuries. It is a taonga, precious and protected, and it belongs to this place in a way that is deeply sentimental. 

At our flagship store found inside Polish & Pan in Hokitika, you can shape and polish your own pounamu pendant by hand, and discover the story behind the stone. Our pounamu pieces carry that same story, set alongside West Coast gold and silver, two treasures from the same rivers. From the land to your hand.
