Ariki New Zealand Jewellery is a globally recognized brand and one of the largest jewellery manufacturers in New Zealand. The name Ariki comes from the Maori language, meaning The Chief or The Best. Established in 1932 by a Marlborough family, Ariki saw the potential of the Paua shell to create a unique collection of New Zealand jewellery.

Their ambition has led to the widespread availability of the Ariki Paua Collection both in New Zealand and worldwide. What sets Ariki apart is their commitment to quality. The Paua shell used in their jewellery is harvested from pollution-free areas renowned for their water quality and mineral richness.

This results in a shell with intense depth of color and thickness, distinguishing Ariki's Paua shell jewellery from imitations. Proudly made and designed in New Zealand, Ariki's jewellery collections are produced at their factory in Blenheim. They offer a wide range of products, including Paua, Jade, Sterling Silver, and Koha jewellery.

Each piece is meticulously crafted, representing the rich heritage and cultural significance of New Zealand. With Ariki, you can own a piece of exquisite jewellery that embodies the beauty and spirit of New Zealand
