Our journey in life has no beginning or end according to te ao Māori. The porowhita can represent your process of discovery and rediscovery as you move through life.

ABOUT US:

Crafted by hand at the Oro Negro Carving Studio on Karangahape Road. We follow Māori Whakairo protocol in crafting taonga that honours the traditions of tangata whenua o Aotearoa. As Colombian carvers, our practice is also about connecting with our own Indigenous South American art forms.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Our Taonga is made to be worn daily. You can shower with it on. It is advised that during physical activity you take off your pounamu or wear it under your clothing. Pounamu will absorb your skin’s oils, so if your taonga is looking dry you can rub it against your skin. Alternatively, you can rub into the stone a tiny amount of natural oil such as coconut or olive oil for shine.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Please note that although we try our best to photograph our Pounamu as true to life as possible, colour may vary due to our studio lighting.
