Always enjoy shopping with Arrowtown. Have purchased all our greenstones and cords from them. Super quick shipping and excellent services. 100% recommend!
I bought two replacement cords, one for the main cord and one for the spiral embellishment. They feel and look great! Cut and burned the ends for a nice seal. 10/10 would recommend!
I now feel safer it that I will not lose my greenstone. It is old and valuable only to me I think. It will be passed onto my mokopuna. So thank you for your quick delivery as well. My mokopuna both have your pendants already which i gifted to them to protect and guide them. Thank you for your craftmanship and information that you provide to help make a purchase. Nga mihi.
We respect your choice and do not bless our finished pounamu pieces. However, we encourage those who purchase to consider blessing it before gifting. Please see the answer below regarding "How can I bless pounamu."
Blessing pounamu is a personal choice often associated with gifting to someone close. Seek guidance from a Kaumatua or local Marae for traditional practices. Alternatively, you can honor tradition by cleansing the pounamu in a river or stream with a karakia (prayer), or by blessing it with the recipient to share your intentions. These methods allow for meaningful engagement with pounamu according to personal beliefs and connections.
Yes, you can buy pounamu for yourself without cultural taboo. In Māori history, pounamu was both a cherished gift and a traded commodity among tribes, symbolizing honor, respect, and enduring value. Whether purchased or received, owning a pounamu taonga carries deep spiritual significance, enhancing personal mana (spiritual life force) and connecting past traditions with the present. Whether for yourself or as a gift to friends or loved ones, the choice that feels meaningful to you is important.
Each river-tumbled pounamu bracelet is uniquely shaped and colored, showcasing its natural beauty. During checkout, you can leave a note for our whānau specifying your preferences for the bracelet's shape or color, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.
Each Māori design carries unique cultural significance:
Each item purchased comes with its own individual meaning card. Learn more about their stories and meanings here.
Each pounamu pendant or bracelet is carefully packaged with its meaning and care cards to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. Your purchase includes:
An individual meaning card explaining the cultural significance of the chosen design

Secure packaging in a recyclable shipping box made from recycled materials
Upgrades and Additional Options:
