ICE STORM

- New Zealand Jade Toki Pendant

hand carved from a lovely piece of New Zealand Pounamu. This particular stone is sometimes called 'snowflake' pounamu because of the white inclusions through the stone. It is certainly a very striking piece with lots of character and visual appeal.

The cord is typical of the beautiful finishing touch and attention to detail that Jen 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.
