Deane Moreton learnt his craft whilst working alongside his father in the family pounamu (greenstone) business. With over 30 years’ experience in sourcing and handcrafting New Zealand Pounamu, Deane is now one of New Zealand’s experts in the industry.

Each piece of jewellery that Deane designs is inspired by New Zealand’s rich culture and natural beauty. His collections feature traditional cultural and natural elements, and each design tells a story of New Zealand.

The Hei Matau is a fascinating and culturally significant piece. The indigenous people of New Zealand, Maori, used Hei Matau similar to this one, to fish. Today, the Hei Matau pendant is believed to bring the wearer good luck during journeys, especially when travelling over water.

Kahurangi pounamu, a name meaning "precious or prized possession" in Māori, is a highly valued and exquisitely translucent type of greenstone. It's celebrated for its exceptional clarity and vibrant green hue, often graced with subtle, cloud-like inclusions. Traditionally, Kahurangi was reserved for items of significant status and importance, such as ceremonial adzes belonging to chiefs.
