Are Jade, Pounamu and Greenstone the same thing?
The short answer is no.
New Zealand jade is Nephrite Jade which has inclusions of other minerals giving it the interesting color.
Jade or Greenstone are common names for the jade used to carve Maori designs. These terms include jade sourced from New Zealand and also imported stone from places like Australia or Canada. New Zealand jade is sometimes hard to get so it is common for stock or cheaper carvings to be carved from a mixture of local and imported stone.
We can not 100% guarantee that every stock carving design is carved from New Zealand stone as they are often not made by our own carvers so we simply describe them as "jade".
There is no really a pure black New Zealand jade (very dark but not completely black) so pure black jades are generally Australian jade.
Pounamu however is the term for New Zealand jade so is only used when we have been assured by the carvers that it is really New Zealand jade.
No Two Pieces Will Ever Be Exactly The Same...
Each Pounamu / Greenstone / Jade Carving piece is crafted by hand so even if following the same design, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.
Unique Pounamu / Greenstone / Jade Carvings or bone pendant pieces can also be designed especially for you, telling your story through traditional styling and some may also include exotic inlays of shell or precious stones. Contact us for more details on this.
You will be surprised how reasonably priced these custom made, one-off designs are.

I was looking for something for myself and immediately liked the jade pendants you had...
"Kristina,
Yes, received the jade pendants very quickly and am very pleased with them. I was looking for something for myself and immediately liked the jade pendants you had.
Then, when I read the meaning of the single and double twists, representing friends that may be apart but come together againe etc. it seemed to be represent my girlfriend and I whom have been apart for 12 years and now together again although living in separate countries.
Therefore I bought one for each of us and they remind us that even though we are thousands of miles from each other we are and will be together again.
Many thanks for your service,
Charles."

"I really appreciate how...the items were exactly as described..."
Annette Varcoe, Brackney, USA you suggest and express nothing but total satisfaction - this is rare because we Brits don't know the meaning of the words "Customer Relations." For a "nation of shopkeepers" our retailers have a hell of a lot to learn!!
Thanks again and I am sure to return one day as a satisfied customer. I particularly like the clocks and mirrors!
Best wishes... and keep up the excellent work."
"The parcel you sent me arrived safely early this week and was much appreciated - my 2 year old son George ate the cookies and my nephew begged for the pendant. The service your company has provided has been excellent... even a hand written card!!
I have downloaded the wallpaper images you sent on CD ROM. I have told friends and family about your web site and love the beautiful wooden items you sell.
I will be glad to visit the
"I have never received better service from an on-line company before!!! I do not think I have ever received as wonderful customer service as I have received from you from other places. I just received my order (great timing by the way) and I am still amazed and astounded by the great customer service, the free gifts, and the nice hand-written letter, not to mention the quality of the product itself.
I am definitely going to return to Products from New Zealand Ltd., and I am spreading the word to everyone I know. Thank you again for the great service!!!"
