Centred on genuine West Coast jade, this Mawhera studio carves locally sourced New Zealand pounamu into pendants, necklaces, earrings, rings and standalone sculptures. It is owned and operated by Catherine and Warren Woollett, who specialise in Flower Jade—a distinctive deep green stone patterned with natural gold or white markings that is sourced close to Greymouth itself. Alongside custom commissions and finished jewellery, they offer an online shop for gifts.
Visitors describe it as an authentic gallery rather than a souvenir stop, valuing the team's depth of knowledge and unhurried guidance. Reviewers often mention how willingly staff share the cultural meaning of carvings and colour variations, even taking time to inspect river stones brought in by curious travellers or helping family members choose a piece over a video call. You will find the store on Tainui Street in central Greymouth. Our pick in town when you are looking for a meaningful piece of South Island pounamu with genuine local provenance.
