| Just wanted to let you know that I received the carving for my brother. It looks great! He'll love it. James W. - USA |
| Thanks so much-we love you guys! My sister and I have bought from you before and I get so many inquiries and compliments when I wear mine!
Thanks again and wishing I was in NZ instead LA (too much smog!), |
Just to let you know, I just received your parcel (exactly 2mn ago) and the pendants "Ocean" and "Fish hook" are absolutely wicked! I absolutely love them! 2 of my colleague already asked me where I found them. Of course, I agreed to give them the link to your website... Only in exchange of a free pint (the most common currency here in Ireland), he he!!! Have to get back to work, but once again, many thanks for the pendant. They look fabulous, very well packed, and the delivery time was much shorter than I thought (I only really expected to receive it next week). Thumbs up for that!See ya later! Etienne L. - Ireland |
| Hi, the carving arrived in one piece, and its beautiful. I'm sure my boyfriend will love it!!! I showed my mum your email from before, with the reference to how odd it was that there was a place called Bishop Auckland, and she didn't understand why you'd said that til we went through there two days later, and she suddenly went 'aaah, Auckland's in New Zealand!!' Bless her. Neway, Thank you very much, and I'll let you know what my boyfriend thinks. Many Thanks, Cecily M. - Bishop Auckland, UK |
| I just received the package today. That was fast. It's beautiful. My daughter will be pleased. We've been to Devonport several times in the past when visiting family, but it's been a few years. I'll stop in next time for sure. Thanks again, Gary P. - USA |
| Hello Goina, Kia ora! ;-) I received the most beautiful Manaia from you today and just want you to know that I am extremely pleased with the grace and spiritual energy of this piece. Thanks again for having it blessed for me and give my thanks to Grant for doing to beautiful carving. Once again, it has been a pleasure working with you and until next time, peaceful wishes, Ryan P. - USA |
| Hi Goina, I just wanted to let you know that my pictures arrived today and they are beautiful. Thank you so much for the excellent service! I will recommend the site to everyone I went on the trip with. We all loved NZ so much! I was travelling with the Neil Diamond Tribute show in October 2003. We are hoping to go back again this year, but we will see how it goes. I am not part of the band, so it is expensive for me. We were in Devonport in early October - we hung out in a cool jazz restaurant called 'On Bourbon' with big brown comfy leather couches. Then we went to the beach and had a great view. We loved it. Enjoy your summer! Sincerely, Laura R. - Canada |
| You have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me out, and I feel as if I've made a friend in New Zealand. I will patiently await the arrival of the blessed Manaia, and thank you again for your help and service. I'll be sure to send my friends your way when they want to know where to find the greenstone carvings. Peace and love, Ryan P. - USA |

| Hello Goina, I just received a birthday gift from my boyfriend, and it's a greenstone pendant! It's absolutely gorgeous. I gave my fishhook, which I ordered from your company two years ago, to a friend who moved to Alaska. She was very touched because I wore it all the time. Have a great holiday, and please give my compliments to the artist. Thanks again, Bridgid M. - USA |
| Thanks Goina - have a very Merry Christmas. I will be passing your website details on to all my NZ friends here in the UK so they can have a look. Brigitte B. - UK |
| Dear Goina The Azure print is beautiful. I was very happy with the quick response and delivery that you provided. I am sure my husband will be very surprised and happy. Claudia W. - Colorado, USA |
| Dear Goina Package has arrived and it is beautiful. Thank you so much and have a good time kayaking. Merry xmas. Cleo P. - CA, USA |
| I recently ordered two greenstone carvings from you via the internet. I wanted to say thanks, and that they are both very beautiful. Dougal B. - Japan |
| Hi Goina, Kia ora! I've just received the Double Koru Robertson Design. It's unbelievable how fast it was to get it from the other side of the World. Thank you so much, is absolutely stunning and already tied around my neck. The best way to start the new year with a symbol of rebirth. Cheers from Milan... Lorenzo R. - Italy |
| Many thanks for being so efficient and getting my order out to me so quickly and also for keeping me informed of progress - it is pleasant change from the usual automated responses and slow service that I'm used to when buying things on the internet! Have a great Christmas/New Year. Kind Regards Matt M. - UK |
A happy day to you from the States! We're getting snowed under here in Nebraska, so it was great to get something wonderful in the mail to keep things cheerful. The carvings arrived safely today--they are beautiful! Such wonderful craftsmanship! I'm sure everyone here will want to know exactly where they came from, so I'll be sure to refer them directly to your website. Thanks so much for your prompt and pleasant service, and the extraordinary pieces of New Zealand that I received today... Blessings, |
| Hello, I spoke with you a couple times last week and I decided on the inner koru. It's a beautiful carving and I hope I can still receive it before christmas. Please let me know if that isn't possible, even though I still want the necklace. Thanks so much for your kind advice and assistance...I've been recommending you already. Danielle K. - USA |
| It’s here………..and they’re gorgeous!!!!!
I gave one koru to a very special friend , he’s never been to NZ so he’d never seen a pendant, but he was for about 20 min. touching it , looking at it, actually admiring it……..SO I was very happy that he liked it SO much……
So thank you very much for sending those beautiful ones… |

| Wow...great service! Something unheard of over here... ;-) Matt N. - UK |
| I received the carvings on Friday, they are beautiful. Thank you so much. Nina B. - Orgeon, USA |
| Greetings... The items arrived in time for my trip to NY. They are just what we had expected...wonderful! My daughter and her friend were very pleased with the gifts. Thanks again for the prompt responses and it has been a pleasure chatting and doing business with you. I will be sure to refer my friends to you as well... Celeste McC - Texas USA |
| Dear Goina, The parcel arrived yesterday, thank you! The carving (~triple koru Pacific shell carving, editor) is a true thing of beauty. For me it has three meanings, the koru itself; the resemblance to ocean waves; and the pattern of three, whose meanings I don't pretend to fully understand but has such spiritual significance across religions and cultures. I am also very impressed by your service, most things I order from inside the U.S. take much longer to arrive. Thank you again, Jim C. - USA |
Kia Ora, Goina, Great to be able to order a little bit of home over the internet, your web site is one of the best I have seen, take care and look forward to using you again. Ka Kite, |
| Thank you for my pendant, it is GORGEOUS. Thank Neil for me, please. Samantha L. - Scotland |
| I am so delighted that my order came so quickly!! I love the fish and I am touched by your inclusion of the shell necklace. It is beautiful. I wear necklaces almost every day and will wear this one with much pride. It will carry with it a special because it comes with a story and comes from so far away. Kelly D. - USA |
| Dear Goina, I hope all is well in N.Z. The Koru carving arrived in record speed and in great condition. It is terrific and I think the recipient (my wife) will be very pleased. Thank you very much for your great service. Yours, Tom F. - California, USA |
| Hello again, I recieved the necklaces yesterday, they are soo beautiful, thank you soo much I love them!!! I'll talk to you soon! Thanks again, Cathy G. - Colorado, USA |
| And thanks again. I really like your service. Sharman R. - Wellington, NZ |
| Just wanted to say thank you very much for the arohanui. It arrived last week and is beautiful. I'm sure my girlfriend is going to love it! Thanks again, Bas v. L. - the Netherlands arohanui greenstone carving ~editor |
| I have just received the carvings, they are extremely beautiful and I am going to wear mine all the time. Thank you. Olivier G. - Bermuda manaia greenstone carvings ~editor |
| Love it!!! Cathy G. - Colorado, USA |
