About Aotearoa...

Evolve has quite a large range of beads.
These designs based or related to New Zealand's indigenous people the Māori are most attractive.

from top left to down right: focal charm 'four winds', focal charm 'energy-eternal', 'safe travel', 'growth', 'Tuatara', 'ancestry mask', 'pacific mask', 'Aotearoa's heart'.

These are certainly on my wishlist!

i love them!!! on my wishlist too!

They are all terrific, but the masks are to die for!

Does anyone ship these to the states?

Yes, the site that I have used is called "Christie's" and the site is: www.christies.co.nz I felt the service was good also.

Thanks for the information! Wow the beads are so beautiful!

Thanks for the link. I have been wondering how to get hold of some of these.

I have no experience in ordering these... thanks for he link!

Does anyone have any pictures on a bracelet? Would love to see how they look

Oh no ! More amazing beads I need

I love the Mask beads... more added to my wish list!

i love the tuatara... that looks amazing!

They are lovely! I was backpacking in Australia and New Zealand some years ago and NZ is one of my absolute favorite places in the world. It would be cool have some NZ themed beads to remember the trip with

4 Winds has to be my favorite of those.

Mine too RD. Love NZ, love these beads. MMP has these beads, I am sure she has a post on the subject with a picture of them.

Lovely beads ! My wishilist gets longer every day

I have ordered from Christie's several times. They offer great service.

MM is right, I have 2 Evolve Twists so far and you can see them on a combo

My source was this fantastic shop, I think they ship worldwide too:

How large are the holes in the silvers? I'm liking the Koru bead...

Hmm, that Koru bead might be a substitute for Joyful. Not the same, of course, but the spiral on top looks more substantial than TB's Spiral design.

I was just looking at MMP's link, it says that the Evolve beads will fit Pandora, so they must have the larger holes.

They have slightly larger holes, but somehow it's not that noticeable.
A wonderful heavy and very detailed quality if you get the real thing, remember I got some Evolve fakes from my BFF for my birthday!
When I contacted the seller where I bought my original Evolve beads to tell him about the fakes (my friend bought them elsewhere directly in NZ), he though didn't call them fakes, he wrote 'there are similar beads made to accomodate every taste and budget'. So I can only warn about buying from ebay or from dubious sources as the beads she got where cheap, cheap looking and not made from silver, though definitely sold as Evolve beads to her!

'Tuatara', 'ancestry mask', 'pacific mask', definately on my wishlist very nice..;-)

the cost is ok, its the shipping if you bring in more than one bead, customs and excise will charge you and our post office will charge £8.00 handling fee plus the relevant import taxes.. so... what we need is a new zealand troll fairy ;-) Anyone.? Love the pacific mask

I adore the Tuatara - he is the best dragon out there for my money .

i would really like to have those masks! they are so cool! and that ornament thing in the upper right corner is also great! and that gecko, although i don't think it's that wearable
