Dot Arts

Welcome to Dot Arts, your premier destination for exquisite jewelry and indigenous art. Located in the picturesque town of Hastings, New Zealand, our establishment is a unique blend of a jewelry store, point of interest, and store.

At Dot Arts, we specialize in crafting the finest Pounamu greenstone necklaces and earrings for women, men, and children. Our collection showcases the beauty and cultural significance of Maori craftsmanship, featuring stunning designs such as the New Zealand Pounamu Manawa (heart) necklace, laser-cut Kowhaiwhai pattern, and aqua-colored tear drop resin earrings depicting a mother and baby whale swimming to the surface. We take pride in incorporating meaningful elements, such as the words Matariki alongside the names of the stars, into our jewelry pieces.

Dot Arts is the brainchild of Addie Wainohu, a talented graphic designer and resin jewelry maker, and Hoani Pohatu, a skilled greenstone Pounamu carver. Together, we create the best Pounamu jewelry by Maori right here in New Zealand. Our commitment to using authentic materials is evident in our sourcing of Harakeke (flax) from our local hometown of Hastings and Pounamu greenstone from the South Island of New Zealand.

Since our inception in 2017, Dot Arts Ltd has been dedicated to crafting unique and exceptional jewelry for our valued clients. With expertise in design and manufacturing, we offer a wide range of jewelry options and can even create custom designs tailored to your preferences. We take immense pride in our workmanship and strive to provide outstanding service to ensure your complete satisfaction.
