Capturing the Essence of Aotearoa: Moko Pounamu
Moko Pounamu pride themselves on supplying the highest quality of craftmanship and product, using only the finest pounamu from the West Coast of New Zealand.
The brand was founded by Deane Moreton, son of renowned carver and pounamu miner Alfred Moreton. Deane learnt his craft whilst working alongside his father, and is now one of the country’s leading experts with over 30 years’ experience. Moko Pounamu’s range of designs are the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, inspired by Aotearoa’s rich culture and natural beauty.
All artists carve with acknowledgement and respect for this natural taonga and work hard to ensure the longevity of the resource and craft for future generations.
Proudly locally owned and New Zealand made, Moko Pounamu pride themselves on sharing the art of craftsmanship with the local community and the world.
Visit their inner-city store at 340 Durham Street, or view their range online at www.mokopounamu.co.nz.
You can also find the range at Seddon Terrace in The Colombo. Deane opened the store late last year with the aim of championing local artists whose work showcases the beauty of our country. Seddon Terrace takes it’s name from a place tucked away in the famed gold-mining mecca of the South Island’s West Coast.
So naturally in this range you will find pounamu, locally-mined gold, motifs of native flora and fauna, all things New Zealand.
The Seddon Terrace range boasts collections from Boh Runga, Lily Griffin, Winter in July, and its own product line. Seddon Terrace will continue a commitment to local artists and locally made jewellery. Visit their store in The Colombo to experience these treasures.
