Hei Toki Pipiwharauroa - Sterling Silver capped Greenstone Toki Pendant

Sands Jewellery House

With expertise and power the carver wields the adze. Relied on for survival in ancient times, traditional tools are imbued with significance and meaning. The toki epitomises the artistry and skill of the craftsman, protector and provider. Of great mana (prestige), to wield the toki is to wield strength.

This hei toki was carved by Samuel Potter from Pipiwharauroa pounamu sourced from Arahura of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa and it is capped with sterling silver by our master jeweller, John Mayo. It measures 47mm by 30mm has a semi-gloss finish and is hung on a sterling silver chain.
