Medium Kawakawa Pounamu Stylised Toki Pendant
Description
A medium-sized stylised toki pendant in Kawakawa pounamu (greenstone), with rich green tones, natural lighter markings and a softly rounded shape. Brown cord binding across the top complements the character of the stone.
The toki takes its name and form from the traditional Māori adze, a tool used for carving and shaping. As a pendant, the toki is commonly associated with strength, courage and determination, making it a thoughtful gift to acknowledge someone’s resilience or mark a new chapter.
This piece offers a softer, stylised interpretation of the toki design, with a polished surface that brings out the pounamu’s natural patterning.
Pounamu type: Kawakawa

Taking care of your Taonga
Wearing your Pounamu close to your skin can help it maintain its polish. This is because it naturally absorbs oils from your skin, which will give it a special connection to you.
To further care for your taonga, you can oil it using any natural household oils or fats such as
- olive oil
- coconut oil
- vegetable oil
- tallow
Doing so will help ensure that it remains sparkling and beautiful for many years to come.
