Description

Bold and beautifully formed, this 40mm Toki pendant is carved from authentic South Island pounamu and carries the deep cultural weight of one of Māori culture's most important symbols.

The toki (adze) represents strength, leadership, and the ability to craft something meaningful from raw material — both literally and metaphorically. It is a symbol of the skilled hand and the determined mind, and a reminder that we all have the power to shape our own destiny.

Each piece has been blessed and arrives ready to gift as a taonga. A powerful and inspiring gift for someone stepping into a leadership role, taking on a challenge, or beginning something new.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the shape of a pounamu represent?

Each carved form carries its own meaning. The koru symbolises new life and growth, the twist (pikorua) represents two paths joined together, the hook (hei matau) speaks of safe travel and abundance, and the toki (adze) stands for strength and purpose.

What is the Māori symbol for good luck?

The koru is one of the forms most associated with good fortune and new beginnings, though pieces like the hook and the twist are also commonly gifted as symbols of protection and good luck.

What does the pounamu twist symbolise?

Known as the pikorua, the twist represents two paths — two people, two cultures, two journeys — entwined together in a bond that lasts a lifetime.

What does a heart-shaped pounamu mean?

A simple, universal symbol of love and connection, often given to mark a relationship, a milestone, or simply to let someone know they're cherished.
