Good morning Goina, Just wanted to say thank you for sending through my Mere I ordered on Monday. I received it at 7:30 this morning, and it is just what I wanted :-) And I really appreciate all the bubble wrap I got with it! It is going to be travelling overseas for Christmas, so thanks a lot. Kind regards, Rebekah S. - New Zealand ~ greenstone mere pendant |
Hi Goina.
This is to confirm to go ahead on the order.
I have travelled all through your beautiful country, and married a girl from Kerikeri 35 years ago. We are putting together a small display of Maori culture in our home.
Thank you for your great service. |
I first got introduced to Maori pendants when a Kiwi friend lived in Chicago and got me one (fish hook made out of bone) when he visited his country. He had since returned to NZ since his working visa expired soon after 9/11. In the last few weeks, I have been obsessing about getting a greenstone pendant after visiting Alaska last year in May and saw a how beautiful they were but they didn't come from NZ. I specially was amazed on how expensive they were. So I've searched about 12 dozen websites and yours was the least complicated one to navigate. Additionally, the pictures themselves were good. It helped that there were "testimonials". Racquel H. - USA ~ greenstone drop pendant, greenstone korutwist pendant |

Hi Goina. Thanks for that very exciting news. |
Kia Ora, and again thank you :) Add away, I love your site and your quality products..It is better than any of the stuff we have here in the US..Thanks again and I can't wait to get my order. I am hoping to make it over there in the next year or so for the Les Mills Global Summit. Hopefully I can drop in on your shop and see things first hand. |
| hi Goina,
I recieved my photos albums today and they are well nice. Please say thanks to the designers as they are amazing and thankyou for all your help. Kind regards Darren H. - UK ~ Maori design photo albums |
Dear Goina -
My koru and drop pendant just arrived in freezing Chicago today. They looked fantastic-the green of the jade, the shapes and lines. I'm happy to have purchased them. I've lamented over where to buy my Maori pendants and so glad that I got them from you! I watch "Amazing Race" here on Sundays and see the host Phil Keoghan wear his jade fish hook. They look stunning!
Again Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well! Racquel H. - USA ~ greenstone drop pendant, greenstone korutwist pendant |

Hi Goina, I would just like to let you know I received the jandals yesterday afternoon. (They are even gift wrapped!) I did sneak open one end of the wrapping to see if they are the same as the ones that my husband keeps wearing and I couldn't believe how new they looked, or more to the point, how old his current ones looked. He will get quite a surprise at Christmas! Thank you so much, Have a good weekend (and a good Christmas too!) Narelle F. - Australia ~ koru jandalz |
Just wanted to send a note to say Thank You for sending the beautiful blue bandanna. It is stunning. I love it! We are enjoying the snow right now. Celebrating our Thank sgiving holiday this coming week...much to be thankful for including my new bandanna! Enjoy your spring, I am sure it is a beautiful time of year. All the best!

| Kia Ora Goina Many thanks for the confirmation. We are excited and look forward to receiving the artwork. Warm Regards, James C. - Hong Kong ~ Maori paddle |
Thank you so much Goina. You will be hearing a lot from me... I am so excited to have found your site. Much love being sent your way. Love and light. |
Thanks so much Goina. My husband is originally from New Zealand and returned many years ago to
attend a funeral. He bought a pair of these jandals from Auckland Airport
and has worn them ever since. They are now obviously well worn (plus have a
few chunks out of them where our puppy attacked them)! I was very excited
to see the same ones for sale! Thanks once again, |
| Kia ora Goina;
Thank you very much for that. It will make a lovely Christmas gift for someone who will really appreciate it. Have a great day. Kind regards Andrew McL. - Australia ~ greenstone pendant |
