HANDCRAFTED NEW ZEALAND STONE PENDANTS

Each piece of jewellery begins with a walk — through riverbeds, beaches, and wild corners of Aotearoa where nature quietly reveals her treasures.

OUR FAVOURITES

Collected by hand. Carved with care. Worn with meaning.

From River to Pendant

Each pendant begins in nature — a stone shaped by rivers, time, and patience.

In our Nelson studio, we carve and polish each piece by hand, letting its natural form and texture guide the design. Every carving is a collaboration with nature — quiet, careful, and deeply personal.

COLLECTED LOCALLY
WORN NATIONWIDE

Our work is about connection — to the land, the stones, and the people who wear them.

​

What began as quiet weekends exploring Nelson’s rivers and West Coast beaches has grown into a small family studio creating handcrafted stone jewellery for people across Aotearoa.

​

Each piece carries the spirit of its origin — shaped with patience and finished with care.

​

Whether gifted or worn as a personal keepsake, every piece is a gentle reminder that beauty doesn’t need to be perfect — just real, raw, and made with intention.
