Description
Ariki is the world’s most successful designer/manufacturer of Paua shell jewellery. It is also the largest jewellery manufacturer in New Zealand. The name Ariki is from the Maori language and means “The Chief” or “The Best” – a promise that Ariki jewellery is of the highest quality, in terms of both materials and workmanship.
Ariki’s manufacturing operation is based in Blenheim (New Zealand’s sunshine capital and largest grape growing district) at the northern end of New Zealand’s South Island. The company was established in 1932 when a Marlborough family saw the potential of the Paua shell to be the focal point of a unique New Zealand jewellery collection. Their ambition has resulted in the Ariki Paua collection being widely sold in New Zealand and throughout the world.
International renowned
Ariki jewellery is sold in more than 25 countries throughout the world. There have been many attempted imitations of Ariki’s jewellery but none have achieved such enduring success. Such success has been due to Ariki’s absolute commitment to excellence in design and manufacture. Ariki jewellery combines the intrinsic beauty of the Paua shell with finely crafted gold and palladium plated and sterling silver settings to create an international collection of jewellery – the Ariki Collection.
