Featured Artist:

Adam White

Incredible artistry and unequaled quality from a true master carver in very rare types of Pounamu (Jade)

Many of these special carvings are unique custom or limited edition pieces that will not be repeated on our site and therefore do not appear in our stock catalogue. Some of the "designs" may be repeated but the colour, pattern and texture of the special jades from which each is carved makes most pieces very unique.

All pendant carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag.
Most cords are hand made from waxed braid with a loop and bone toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included.

Cords & Packing Detail

Fast airmail shipping worldwide is now just US$6.95 for up to 5 pendants.
