A beautifully carved Inanga blue toki pendant featuring soft green tones blended with natural cloudy white inclusions, reminiscent of flowing water and stone. The surface has a gentle, matte-like finish that enhances its organic feel, while the traditional binding adds texture and craftsmanship to the piece. The toki form symbolises strength, determination, and resilience, making it both meaningful and wearable. Each angle reveals subtle variations in colour and pattern, ensuring no two pieces are ever the same. A grounded and timeless taonga that carries both presence and quiet strength.
Toki(Adze) – The Toki had much meaning for the Maori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Maori. That is the reason Maori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol resembles determination, control, strength, focus and honour.
Inanga
– This pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
