Tiny Trinkets NZ began the way, best things often do — as a small idea, shared around the kitchen table.

It was a mama's idea, a papa's encouragement, and a journey we set out on together with our son. As a homeschool educator whānau, we're always looking for ways to turn everyday learning into something joyful. So what started as a fun way to learn numbers and patterns through counting beads slowly became something we never expected: beautiful, wearable jewellery, each piece strung together with love.

The same thing happened with watercolour. What began as a simple way to learn something new with a paintbrush grew into handmade bookmarks and personalised cards — little treasures made to be kept, gifted, and treasured.

We hold close the words of Scripture: that with faith as small as a tiny mustard seed, you can move mountains. That truth is woven through everything we make. Every bead, every brushstroke, every tiny trinket is a reminder that small beginnings can grow into something far bigger than we ever imagined — when they're made with heart, with faith, and with family.

Thank you for being part of our story. We hope each piece brings a little warmth, a little encouragement, and a reminder that you, too, are capable of beautiful things.

With love,
The Tiny Trinkets NZ whānau.

Our Story

Meet Our Whānau

This is our beautiful family — the heart behind everything we make. (Missing from this photo is our darling Victoria — we'll introduce her very soon!)

Rawinia — That's me. This photo was actually taken just moments after my love proposed. We're not married yet, but we're working on it!

Frank — My love, and the strong, steady figure who leads our whānau. We feel so blessed to have him.

Cole — Our big boy in the white. Cole is Frank's son, but he's mine too — I love being his second mama.

Darius — Our growing giant. Darius is our son who is now 12, he helps bring our pieces to life and checks every little detail, and he looks after our website updates and admin.

Gershom — My shared son. He's actually my sister's boy, but we love him so much we happily claim him as our own.

Victoria — Missing from this photo (hers is coming soon!). She's a second niece to me, but she's always right here with us.

We are happiest when we're all together.

Made Together

Got an idea? Let's make it together. Tell us your colours, your style, and the story behind it — we'll try to bring it to life.
