Puawai Jade - Eat Streat
About Puawai Jade
Specialist pounamu (jade) carver, Niki Nepia, is famed for both his traditional art forms and contemporary work. The highly skilled artist, fluent in traditional Maori style, has studied, worked and exhibited in China under various master carvers and is accomplished in different Chinese art forms. Constantly pushing his creativity and technical ability, Niki produces work that is innovative, unique and impressively complex.
His designs are influenced by the natural surroundings of the Urewera Ranges, in the heart of the North Island, where he grew up. From a young age Niki incorporated aspects of nature and free-form design in his work, which remains true to the spiritual side of his culture and its art forms.
He can be seen at work in his Puawai Jade studio and showrooms in Eat Streat, Rotorua and Mount Maunganui. The gallery offers a range of high-end gold and silver jewellery and adornment, carvings and sculpture produced by Niki and other highly experienced New Zealand artists. New designs feature each month and orders are taken for custom-designed product. Dedicated to quality, Puawai Jade is locally owned and takes its name from a deeply significant family name, Puawai, which means “blossom”.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing staff who really cared to be part of the special occasion behind the purchase of a very special ponamu taonga. The ponamu available are all beautiful works of art and perfect as meaningful gifts for loved ones . The ponamu is carved on site which for me added important local content. They are open late most nights and can be found at the end of Eat Street. Check them out.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You want original Green Stone or New Zealand Pounamu, this store is authentic , each item you but is got uthentication Code that traces it to the origin of the rock. The owner was generous with his knowledge of pounamu and how to detect if it's NZL Greenstein which has a,hardest not far from diamond !
Some greenstone got green specks in the light , dead give away ..not Kiwi Pounamu from the gold mines and Greymouth River , most are origin Canadian Greenstone or elsewhere !

Excellent quality NZ jade, set in 18k gold. (We bought our gold chains separately). It comes with a small authenticity card. The pendants are still in very good condition even after a couple of years of wearing. The staff here are friendly, informative and accommodating. Highly recommended. ?
