These beautiful earrings are made from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/ jade) and sterling silver by Moreton Jewellery based in Hokitika, South Island.
Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material and is said to absorb the owners essential spirit, feeding it back to them and enhancing their strength.
Moreton Jewellery design and craft beautiful jewellery inspired by the unique elements that make our country special. Deane Moreton learnt his craft whilst working alongside his father in the family Pounamu/Greenstone business. Deane has over 30 years’ experience in sourcing and handcrafting New Zealand Pounamu and his designs are a blend of tradition and contemporary inspired by Aotearoa’s rich culture and natural beauty.
