Wai Kaha Pounamu

Wai Kaha Pounamu is a pounamu studio and shop on Ferry Road in Ferrymead, Christchurch, stocking jewellery and carvings by local carvers in stone such as kahurangi, inanga and raukaraka pounamu. Visitors can also book a carve-your-own workshop and design and shape their own piece with guidance from the team, with longer sessions for larger pieces such as bracelets.

The studio also restrings and rebinds existing taonga, and is open seven days. It previously traded as Wai Kaha Jade from Opawa Road.
