The From NZ Crafts

The From NZ Crafts specialises in hand crafted New Zealand Maori Bone Carving and Jade Carving in its many forms. Our range covers many styles, from very traditional pieces such as representations ofmanaia and hei-matau to more contemporary designs such as beautiful dragon carvings.

We supply only the highest quality work from the most skilled artists.

From NZwork has a very special feel about it, unlike anything else you will ever experience. Its milky white appearance and soft flowing lines are just the start ofwhat makes Bone Carvings so special. Bone is soft and warm to the touch yet the finish is like polished glass. A well crafted Carving seems to blend with the body and become a part ofyou, especially when worn against your skin.

New Zealand Jade is also known as "Green Stone" or "Pounamu" in Maori. The beauty ofJade is unsurpasssed with its semi translucent look and swirls ofgreen.NZ Jade Carvings have an irresistible aura ofstrength and beauty. Bone or Jade Carvings are exceptional pieces ofpersonal artwork to wear yourself and wonderful gifts to give to someone you really care about.

Over a period oftime the Carving absorbs oils from your skin and changes color to a very light honey gold. Maori believe this to be the Carving taking on some ofyour spirituality or essence and thus truly becoming a part ofthe wearer.

Each piece is crafted by hand so even if the craftsman is following the same design, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. Unique pieces can also be designed especially for you, telling your story through traditional styling and some may also include exotic inlays ofshell or precious stones. Every Carving comes with a traditional style cord, a woven flax presentation bag and a description ofthe meaning or story behind the design. The average dimensions ofthe Carvings are 60mm x 30mm, so they really do represent superb artworks in miniature.
