Is "Pacific" jewellery really representative of our cultures?

It’s a question that's been on our minds for a while now. We've seen countless pieces of jewellery adorned with generic, mass-produced motifs, slapped with the label "Pacific" and sold as authentic representations of our rich and diverse cultures.

While there's undoubtedly a market for this type of jewellery, we believe there's a huge opportunity to create something truly special. Something that captures the essence of Pasifika heritage, resonates with our local shoppers, and reflects the unique beauty of our islands.

What do our shoppers really want?

To answer this question, with the support of the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board, we're embarking on a journey to understand the desires and expectations of our local community. We want to know what kind of Pasifika jewellery truly speaks to you. What are the stories, symbols, and designs that hold deep meaning? What materials do you prefer? How do you envision wearing Pasifika jewellery in your everyday life?

Your insights are invaluable to us. We're committed to creating a range that not only looks beautiful but also holds cultural significance. We want to celebrate our heritage in a way that is authentic, respectful, and truly representative of our diverse community.

Our vision for Nesian Collective

We believe that Nesian Collective can be more than just a store; it can be a platform to showcase the incredible talent and creativity of our Pasifika people. By offering a curated selection of jewellery that reflects the heart and soul of our cultures, we hope to inspire pride and connection.

We're excited to share this journey with you. Stay tuned for updates on our research, design process, and the launch of our new Pasifika jewellery and accessories within the store.
