Waka – Funky Whakakai

We love to create pounamu jewellery that honours the taonga whilst also being jewellery you will want to wear to any event and that express your individual style.  And so we bring you our line of fun, funky, stylish whakakai, so you can change up your accessories and express your unique self.

These whakakai, made from 3 different Tangiwai, reflect the different waka to arrive in Aotearoa over the years. Each iwi so different, while also being of the same people.   Each of these Tangiwai so different, all pounamu.

And these whakakai move in your taringa like waka on the moana.  Tinkling as they go.  They are fun to wear and make me feel so stylish and absolutely unique.

Tim spends many hours carefully carving down our earrings so they are slim, light weight and easy to wear all day.  Slim pounamu also lets the light play through them.  Take a look at the photos, you can see through the stone!

These whakakai will look great for a night out with the girls, in the office or at school pick up. Pounamu for everyday,  to keep you grounded and feeling fun.
