The Moko Pounamu team were honoured to be chosen by New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) to contribute to a significant piece of New Zealand’s sporting history – the creation of Te Puhoro, the trophy for the inaugural running of the Southern Hemisphere’s richest three-year-old horse race, the NZB Kiwi.

St Andrew’s College sought a distinctive way to honour students at its annual prize-giving. STAC turned to Moko Pounamu to commission the creation of custom-crafted taonga that embodied its values, celebrated excellence, and conveyed profound gratitude to each recipient.

In 2023 and 2024, Moko Pounamu partnered with Mike King and the I Am Hope charity to support Gumboot Friday, a grassroots initiative that provides free counselling for young New Zealanders. Driven by a shared belief in the importance of mental wellbeing, the collaboration saw the creation of limited-edition kahurangi pounamu pendants, designed and carved by Moko Pounamu to raise funds and awareness for the cause.

BrainTree is NZ’s first wellness centre for brain health that supports people living with neurological conditions to live well in the community. On behalf of Moko Pounamu, founders Deane and Jennie Moreton gifted a pounamu touchstone, crafted and installed as a permanent taonga for all who walk through BrainTree’s doors.

Z Energy approached Moko Pounamu to create a special series of taonga to present to their Z Energy Heroes to thank them for their contributions and leadership over the last year. They wanted to collaborate with a company that had a strong understanding of their values and kaupapa for this project, and they found that at Moko Pounamu.
