DOOLANS CREEK
- New Zealand Jade Toki Pendant
‘’ is a jade toki pendant inspired by the rugged beauty of its namesake in Otago, New Zealand. Carved from a striking piece of pounamu, it reflects the raw, untamed landscape of the northern Hector Mountains, nestled behind the iconic Remarkables Range. This piece embodies the strength and enduring spirit of the land, making it a true connection to Aotearoa’s wilderness.
The cord is typical of the beautiful finishing touch and attention to detail that Jen Hung puts into all her work - a three coloured cord and two-tone binding complement the stone perfectly. This is the pendant for you if you'd love a standout piece of handmade jewellery.
Take a moment to view the photos and video to appreciate this carving in all its colourful beauty!
WHY YOU WOULD WEAR A TOKI.
The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength. The adze was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful. They were used to carve ocean-going waka (sea canoes) and to build central meeting houses so they played a central role in traditional life of māori.
The toki is traditionally worn for strength and courage - to assist through life's challenges.
lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and shipped with Express Courier.
We also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
