Description
Jade Centre
New Zealand's finest jade and greenstone jewellery, carvings and gifts — handcrafted by skilled artisans and proudly displayed in the heart of Taupō.
About Jade Centre
Jade Centre has been sharing the beauty and cultural significance of New Zealand pounamu (jade/greenstone) with locals and visitors alike for many years. Located at 83 Tongariro Street in central Taupō, the store carries what is widely regarded as the largest range of jade and greenstone products in the region.
Each piece in their collection is individually handmade by experienced craftsmen, ensuring that no two items are exactly alike. Whether you're looking for a meaningful gift, a treasured keepsake, or a piece of wearable New Zealand art, Jade Centre is the definitive destination in Taupō.
The Collection
Jewellery
Jade Centre stocks an extensive range of jade jewellery, including pendants, necklaces, beads, earrings, bracelets, bangles, rings, cufflinks and charms. Traditional New Zealand designs are at the heart of the collection — the Koru (representing new life and growth), the Tiki (a symbol of fertility and good luck), the Manaia (a spiritual guardian), the Twist (representing the joining of two people or cultures), the Toki (strength and courage), the Fish Hook (prosperity and safe passage over water) and the Whale Tail (strength and speed).
Gifts and Keepsakes
Beyond jewellery, Jade Centre carries a beautiful range of jade carvings and figurines, along with keyrings, phone straps and decorative pieces. These make wonderful souvenirs or gifts that carry genuine cultural meaning and lasting quality.
Why Choose Jade Centre?
With locations in Taupō, Napier and Auckland, Jade Centre has established itself as one of New Zealand's most trusted jade retailers. Their Taupō store is conveniently situated on Tongariro Street — right in the heart of the town centre — making it an easy stop on any visit to the region.
Every piece is selected for quality and authenticity. The jade used in their products is sourced from New Zealand's West Coast, where the finest pounamu is found, and each item reflects the care and skill of the artisans who crafted it.
