"The creative and future thinking power within us is unleashed with this pattern. Auahatanga represents our creative juices and thinking outside of the box."

Friends of Māori artist and designer Nichola Te Kiri noticed a growing contemporary jewellery collection in her studio. In November 2011, they created a Facebook group to promote and sell her beautiful handcrafted pieces, which honour Aotearoa’s heritage with a contemporary Maori design twist.
