Toki

The Toki (adze) is a symbol of strength, determination, and authority. Traditionally used as a tool for survival and voyaging, it has evolved into a powerful ceremonial heirloom. It represents the wearer’s ability to overcome obstacles and lead with a clear mind and a strong heart. This piece is hand-carved from Inanga pounamu, a variety of New Zealand greenstone highly coveted for its distinctive "milky" or pearly-grey appearance. Unlike the deep translucence of other varieties, Inanga offers a soft, calming aesthetic that deepens in character as it is worn against the skin. Each carving is unique, carrying its own "mana" (prestige) and story. This Toki serves as a timeless gift for a loved one embarking on a new journey or as a personal talisman of strength.
