About Jade Kiwi

A Kiwiana gift shop on West End in Kaikōura, which sells genuine pounamu, paua shell jewellery and whale bone alongside work from independent New Zealand makers. The shop is open seven days, according to its listing, and opened in November 2015. The website says it stocks homewares, wall art, ceramics, jewellery, merino and souvenirs, and that many of its products are from independent local artists and makers. It describes itself as a small Māori-owned business. Shoppers can visit the shop or buy online, with nationwide shipping and international delivery.

Customers mention the friendly staff most often, along with the souvenirs and a good range of choice, from magnets and keychains to jewellery.
