The Manaia represents the spiritual guardian against evil, the carrier of supernatural powers. It is traditionally depicted as having the head of a bird, the body of a man and the tail of a fish, representing sky, earth and sea and the balance between them. 

The koru represents new beginning, growth and harmony.

We are jade enthusiasts who love collecting one of a kind pieces of jade from all over the world and bringing out the best in them. We do this as a hobby besides our busy lives. We source stones directly from local dealers where the stones come from (the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, Guatamala, USA, Canada, Turkey, Siberia…)  and carve them/have them carved into our favourite pieces. Our stones are guaranteed to be 100% natural and untreated and only of high quality. We don’t use cheap and low-quality stones with cracks and fractures (unless they are intended to add character to the pieces) as they are not worth our effort. Also, we believe that a jade treasure should be made as flawless and perfect as possible. All of our products are hand carved from the stones we collect; no industrial process is involved, and we only sell what we love! 

We do not resell any items via our shop.
