TOKI PĀKARI

TOKI PĀKARI - Resilient Toki

Exquisite jade carvings by Reuben Tipene, a Māori artist and carver, who honours the ancient art while tastefully incorporating his life experiences into his work.

Carved from New Zealand Kawakawa Pounamu, Jade.

TOKI PĀKARI is a large and visually powerful toki. It is carved from a piece of rich green jade, unique to the West Coast of New Zealand.

A large, deep green toki like this one has a powerful presence. It evokes feelings of strength, confidence, and connection to something greater. Its weight against the skin serves as a grounding reminder of resilience, heritage, and journeys yet to be taken.

Hand-carved from precious New Zealand pounamu, TOKI PĀKARI is more than just jewellery - it holds meaning, mana, and a deep personal significance for the wearer.

Each toki is unique, shaped by both the hands of the carver and the stories it will gather over a lifetime.

The Pounamu Rueben has used is exquisite - a dark New Zealand Kawakawa jade.

We love the Koru designs engraved into the front face - these symbolise fresh beginnings, a new start. The perfect pendant for adventurers who would like to carry a piece of Aotearoa, New Zealand with them on their journey.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE TOKI'S MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE...

The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength - the adze was a key survival tool, used to build, hunt and defend. Traditionally, the toki is worn to provide strength and courage, to assist through life's challenges, and the koru is a symbol of rebirth, growth and new beginnings.

TOKI PĀKARI is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We include our 'Kia Ora' cards explaining the meaning behind both the Toki and Koru design.
