Care Guide

Caring for Your Bone Taonga
Your taonga is crafted from genuine New Zealand beef bone, a material treasured for its beauty and connection to our whenua (land). With care, it will last for generations.

• Wear often – the natural oils from your skin will help protect and enrich the bone’s colour.

• Avoid water & chemicals – remove before swimming, bathing, or using cleaning products.

• Keep away from heat & sunlight – prolonged exposure can cause drying or cracking.

• Clean gently – wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Do not soak.

• Store with care – keep in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches.

• Cultural respect – many choose to have their taonga blessed or cleansed before wearing, especially if gifted or inherited.

Your taonga is more than jewellery – it is a connection to culture, history, and aroha. Care for it well, and it will carry your story forward.
