Capturing the Essence of Aotearoa at Moko Pounamu


At Moko Pounamu we take pride in supplying the highest quality of craftmanship and product, using only the finest pounamu from the West Coast of New Zealand.

The Moko Pounamu brand was founded by Deane Moreton, son of renowned carver and pounamu miner Alfred Moreton.


Deane learnt his craft whilst working alongside his father, and is now one of the country’s leading pounamu carving experts with more than 30 years’ experience.


Moko Pounamu’s range of designs are the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, inspired by Aotearoa’s rich culture and natural beauty.


All artists carve with acknowledgement and respect for this natural taonga and work hard to ensure the longevity of the resource and craft for future generations.
