About Nick Feint
Hi there my name is Nick Feint and I started Stone Arrow Jewellery about 20 years ago. It has come a long way in that time and is now a great little factory with a proven record in friendly service and top selling quality designs.
We have a lot of fun and a lot of hard work coming up with new designs on a regular basis and providing the best service we can.
The Stone Arrow factory is situated on the boundary of the Able Tasman National Park in Tui Community. Tui is an intentional Community, which has been going about 27 years. We have a deserted beach with warm water just across the road and life is good, the only disadvantage is that we are miles from anywhere!
Stone Arrow provides for the income of the Feint family Nick, Sybille Theo and Marty as well as for several local workers.
In addition we are committed to being a socially and environmentally sustainable business (we are a member of the NZ Sustainable Business Counsel). We aim to minimize our footprint on the world in any way we can. The money you spend with Stone Arrow will be supporting the Feint family and any excess profits will be donated to charity.
So you can be sure the money you put into purchasing a Stone Arrow Product will make the world a better place in some small way.
Want to know more detail about Stone Arrow Ethics?
I am a bit of a socialist hippy at heart and part of me struggles with running a capitalist business, the other part absolutely loves it!
The breakthrough for me came in realizing the more I grow the business the more I can help the world rather than making it worse.
My goal is to establish my family with enough money to meet our needs comfortably and then keep growing the business (which I really enjoy) and donate significant amounts of the profit to charity as well as paying local workers a good wage.
Stone Arrow is growing fast and right now the priority is paying off the mortgage for our family’s home. Once we are debt free and have a comfortable amount for our family our intention is to donate significant amounts of our profits to charity. At present we support a number of environmental charities.
