NZ Greenstone Toki Pendant 90mm | Authentic Pounamu

About This Pounamu Pendant

This 90mm NZ Greenstone Toki Pendant is hand-carved from authentic pounamu sourced from the South Island of New Zealand — the only place in the world where genuine New Zealand greenstone is found. At 90mm, this is a statement piece: commanding in presence, yet balanced enough for everyday wear. Because every piece of pounamu is unique, the colour, tone, and character of your pendant will be entirely your own — no two are ever the same.

Meaning of the Toki

In Māori culture, the toki (adze) is one of the most revered taonga forms. Traditionally used as a tool to shape and carve, it carries deep symbolic meaning that resonates just as powerfully today. Wearing a toki is a reminder of your own capacity to shape your path — with intention, courage, and strength.

The toki represents:

• Strength — the inner power to face challenges with steadiness
• Courage — the willingness to step forward even when the way is uncertain
• Determination — a focused, unwavering commitment to your goals
• Leadership — the authority and wisdom to guide others
• Resilience — the ability to endure, adapt, and rise
• Shaping your own path — honouring your agency to carve the life you choose

Why This Makes a Meaningful Kiwi Gift

Few gifts carry the weight and warmth of authentic NZ greenstone. A toki pendant is a deeply personal taonga — one that speaks to the journey of the person receiving it. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, honouring an achievement, marking a new beginning, or acknowledging someone's personal growth, this piece says something that words alone cannot.

It's equally meaningful for anyone with a connection to Aotearoa — whether they grew up there, have family ties, or simply feel drawn to the culture and land of New Zealand.

This pendant arrives presented in a woven flax kete with a meaning card explaining the cultural significance of the toki — ready to gift, with no extra wrapping needed.
