Pounamu rebinding is the process of replacing or refreshing the cord on a pounamu pendant or greenstone necklace. It helps keep your taonga secure, wearable, and ready to continue its journey with you.
You should replace your pounamu cord if it is fraying, stretched, worn, damaged, or no longer feels secure. A fresh pounamu cord can help protect your piece and reduce the risk of it breaking or being lost.
Yes, a broken greenstone cord can often be replaced through our pounamu restringing or rebinding service in Arrowtown. This restores the function of the piece while respecting the meaning and history it carries. You can either drop it off to us if you’re local, or send it through the mail.
