Pohutukawa Floragem. A small memento of a New Zealand summer — something you can carry with you, wherever you are, all year round.

Floragem comes from flora + gem — botanicals captured inside gem-like domes. Each of these little domes holds dried, crushed stamen from New Zealand’s Christmas bloom.

Yesterday I was in Auckland. Sitting at Starbucks with a $9 matcha frappuccino, pretending I'm a city person. ☕😅 We don't have these places in Kerikeri.

I've got a meeting today too. Someone helping me keep up with orders for the Pāua & Kina Shell Pair Necklace. Big things for a small biz.

Whether you eat kina straight off the rock, know every fishing spot on the coast, or just feel most yourself when you’re near the sea — this one’s for you. The Kina and Fish necklace was made for people who don’t just visit the ocean, they belong to it. Comment SHELL to access our vip cove collection. - Rina

I posted a photo at the airport with my surfboard and turned it into a guessing game. ✈️🏄‍♀️

Nobody got it. The answer? New Plymouth. 🌋

Another Work & Waves trip — laptop, waves, Uber Eats. Productive? Absolutely. Glamorous? Not even slightly. 😅

Two pinwheel shells, each one a perfect spiral (koru in Māori). New beginnings. Life unfolding. The return to where you started. Let each shell represent your connection — a parent and child, siblings, partners. The ones who always find their way back. - Rina

Sand. Shell. Clay.

Yes — that's what's on the back. We mix real beach sand into our signature clay, press it by hand around each paua and kina shell, and let it set exactly as it wants to.

No two alike. Link in comments. 🌿
