This beautifully carved pendant features a traditional Toki (adze) form paired with a graceful Pikorua (twist) design, hand-crafted from genuine New Zealand pounamu (greenstone).
The Toki symbolises strength, courage, and leadership — once a tool of Māori ancestors, it now represents resilience, determination, and mana. The twist, or Pikorua, speaks to the eternal bond between people, the journey of life, and the unity of different paths that remain forever connected.
Together, this taonga (treasure) carries a powerful message of inner strength and meaningful connection — a timeless symbol rooted in Aotearoa’s cultural heritage.
Note: Pounamu is a natural stone, so slight variations in colour, shape, and size may occur. Additionally, the true colour may vary due to lighting conditions in our photos.

Care Guide
Pounamu naturally polishes and enhances its shine by absorbing the natural oils from your skin over time. This process brightens its luster and beauty. If necessary, you can gently clean your Pounamu with mild soap, but it's essential to avoid using strong chemical cleaners.
Whether bone or pounamu, your taonga deserves thoughtful care:
-
Wear often – It’s believed the energy of the wearer enhances the mana of the piece.
-
Clean gently – Use a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid harsh cleaners.
-
Avoid impact – While durable, natural materials can still chip or break.
-
Store safely – Keep your taonga in a soft pouch when not in use.
-
Respect its spirit – Many pieces carry cultural and spiritual significance. Gift or wear them with intention and aroha.
With care and respect, your taonga will remain a lasting symbol of protection, strength, and connection
