Reviewers mention product quality, packaging and phone support most often, and taonga bone carving necklaces. One customer bought a pounamu piece that was stunning and arrived the next day. A school ordered bone carving necklaces for all its Year 6 leavers, and says the staff member was very helpful in organising extra carvings to fill the order. Another bought a carved pare to display in a showroom, and is very happy with the process and the quality of the carving.
