Pounamu NZ Toki necklace

Handcrafted from genuine New Zealand Pounamu (Greenstone), this striking Toki (Adze) measures 90 mm × 40 mm and is finished with an adjustable brown tan wax cord for a comfortable fit.

This Pounamu greenstone has been laser etched with the Patikitiki design representative of the founder fish.

Patikitiki – Symbol of Abundance
Inspired by the pātiki (flounder), the Patikitiki design symbolises abundance, prosperity, and generosity. Spiritually, it honours Tangaroa and represents resilience, nourishment, and the importance of caring for whānau and community. It reminds the wearer that life's greatest riches are found in connection, balance, and sharing with others.

In Te Ao Māori (The Māori World), the Toki (Adze) represents Mana (Prestige & Authority), Kaha (Strength), Māia (Courage), and Rangatiratanga (Leadership). Traditionally worn by respected leaders and skilled artisans, it symbolises resilience, wisdom, and the determination to overcome life's challenges.
Your Pounamu has been blessed by the carver, honouring its spiritual significance before beginning its journey with you.
