The Hei Toki is a traditional Māori pendant design, symbolizing strength, courage, and leadership. Originally worn by Māori tohunga (experts) and rangatira (chiefs), the toki was both a tool and a spiritual object—its form representing authority, mana (prestige), and determination.

This Hei Toki pendant is carved from authentic New Zealand pounamu (greenstone), with deep, natural marbling and a smooth, polished finish. It is suspended on an adjustable braided cord, bound in the traditional style that reflects its ancestral roots.

  • Stone: Genuine Pounamu, sourced from Aotearoa
  • Shape: Hei Toki (adze blade)
  • Cord: Hand-braided, adjustable
  • Binding: Traditional lashing for strength and connection
  • Meaning: Strength, resilience, leadership, authority
  • Origin: Handcrafted in Mangawhai, New Zealand
  • Measurements: 75mm x 24mm
  • By Kimihana Whalen

 

This piece is more than adornment—it’s a wearable taonga (treasure), embodying the wearer’s resolve and connection to heritage. A powerful gift for milestones, protection, or new journeys.
