Greenstone / Pounamu Necklaces

Authentic NZ Greenstone & Pounamu Necklaces

Explore our carefully curated collection of authentic New Zealand greenstone (pounamu) necklaces — timeless pieces that carry deep cultural meaning and natural beauty.

Pounamu, also known as New Zealand jade, is treasured in Māori culture as a symbol of strength, protection and connection. Traditionally gifted rather than self-purchased, greenstone holds special significance as a taonga (treasure), often marking important life milestones and meaningful relationships.

Our Greenstone Collection features classic and contemporary designs, including Toki (adze), Koru, Hei Matau (fish hook) and other traditional Māori symbols. Each piece is crafted from genuine NZ pounamu, making every pendant unique in colour, tone and natural markings.

Whether you are looking for a meaningful gift, a farewell keepsake for someone travelling overseas, or a personal piece to wear close to your heart, a greenstone necklace is a timeless choice.

As a proudly New Zealand-owned retailer with 10 physical stores across the country, Gecko in the Village is committed to offering authentic pounamu pieces with care and integrity.

Discover the beauty, symbolism and heritage of NZ greenstone — a true Kiwiana treasure.
