From traditional jade pendants to gold and silver pounamu jewellery, there is a perfect pounamu for everyone, and visitors will be spoilt for choice in our new store at Mānawa Bay, with exceptional value and a wide selection of designs to explore.
Pounamu is a New Zealand taonga (treasure) deeply rooted in tradition and symbolism. It is a special gift exchanged between friends and loved ones to create an everlasting connection to one another and Aotearoa. As pounamu is passed down through generations, it gathers mana (prestige), carrying with it the stories, legacy, and spirit of those who wore it before.
Our knowledgeable and welcoming team at Mānawa Bay is here to help you discover a one-of-a-kind, meaningful gift for someone special or a personal piece to start your pounamu journey.
For over 38 years, we have worked with renowned New Zealand artists to bring together the most diverse collection of pounamu in Aotearoa. Every carving we create is handmade and one of a kind. Our team of jade carvers is spread across the country, with many artists working from their home studios in Hawkes Bay, Hamilton, Tauranga, and Auckland, as well as Hokitika and Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island.
Not only does our store at Mānawa Bay showcase the exceptional carving talent we have in Aotearoa, but you'll also be able to discover beautiful pieces and unique designs crafted by emerging artists who are new to the world of jade carving.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new store, connecting you with local artists and sharing our love of pounamu.
Mānawa Bay is a truly unique destination to shop, eat and explore, located only a 5-minute drive from Auckland Airport. Savvy shoppers are spoilt for choice, with over 100 iconic stores and a wide selection of international and local brands to choose from all with exceptional savings.
Located within peaceful park-like grounds overlooking the mangroves of Auckland’s Manukau Harbour, Mānawa Bay is New Zealand's premium outlet shopping destination. In te reo Māori, Mānawa means mangroves and it's from this coastal plant species, a habitat for native birds and fish, that Mānawa Bay gets its name.
Outlet shopping is all about discovery - the thrill of the find, an unbeatable deal, and unexpected delights. Our store at Mānawa Bay is the perfect place to discover New Zealand pounamu and find a meaningful gift for the ones you love most - while shopping our very best deals and prices.
