Notched Niho Tooth Kawakawa Greenstone Medium Pendant

Carved from greenstone, the Niho (tooth) design symbolises the guardianship and strength of whales and sharks in Māori culture. Kawakawa greenstone showcases beautiful dark green & black tones, with subtle green flecks. Representing protection and a deep connection to the moana (ocean).

The carved notches reflect traditional Māori carving, historically symbolising whakapapa (genealogy) and the passing of wisdom between generations. Today, these notches may also represent whānau members or loved ones, adding personal meaning to each pendant.

Paired with a handwoven adjustable brown cord, this pendant is thoughtfully presented in an eco-friendly gift box, complete with meaning and care cards—a meaningful taonga to cherish or share.
