Profile Description

Guided by moemoea (dreams), which are powerful messages to self; and driven to do what is right over what is profitable, Taonga by Timoti has a simple approach and clear perspective:
“People before profit. Papatuanuku before profit. Integrity before profit.”

Driving this is a core focus and connection to wairua. The wairua (essence) to create, share and gift.

Create: At Taonga by Timoti each taonga is hand carved, sourced and designed using the stones own qualities to create a unique taonga, specific to the wearer.

Share: To share is to empower others. At Taonga by Timoti this applies to our hosted experience groups as well as the work Timoti does with local rangatahi.

Gift: Tū Maia is a connected gifting system, for every taonga by Timoti purchased, a pendant is carved and gifted to a tamariki in care, in Aotearoa.

  • Sustainable, ethical and legal harvesting.
  • Our programme in schools creates awareness of the limited resource that is pounamu.
  • Our workshop, our home, our lifestyle is all about reducing our footprint on the planet.
  • We buy local, support local and only use ethically sourced products.
We believe in the power of people. To make positive change, to uplift, to champion, to guide one another and to lead by example. He whanau Kotahi matau – we are all one family. Most evident in our:
