Serpentinite Pounamu (Douglas Creek Smoke & Glass) earrings on 925 Sterling Silver

A beautiful glassy Toki style

Hand-carved from Douglas Creek Pounamu, a South Westland Serpentinite from deep in the Haast mountains. 

She has magnificent translucent green tones - set in a smoky black /grey base stone. With shimmers of gold pyrite inclusions, you can discover the depth and layers of the world hidden within.

Quality 14ct Rolled Gold

We use quality 14ct rolled gold for selected pieces in our collection, chosen for its beautiful warm golden tone, quality and durability.

Each piece is carefully handmade, with rolled gold findings selected to complement our natural New Zealand stones. We choose to use a higher-quality gold finish rather than standard gold plating, which does come at an additional cost but offers a more beautiful and lasting finish.

We believe the little details matter, and quality materials are an important part of creating jewellery made to be treasured for years to come.

About Serpentinite:

A rich and varied stone, serpentinite is one of three pounamu stones used in traditional carving, and one of the most recognisable. A metamorphic stone formed from antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile, this wide mix of minerals produce a stone of immense complexity, and individual pieces can contain colours ranging from deep moss green to aquatic blue, with gold, orange, and brown highlights.

Healing Properties:

A healing stone, serpentinite replenishes and restores energies within the body and creates a protective field around its wearer. Sometimes porous, serpentinite can absorb oils from your skin and its colour may deepen over time - this should not be seen as a flaw but as part of the stone’s natural evolution with its wearer.
