Meaning of the Tiki

The Hei Tiki is one of the most recognised taonga in Māori culture. Traditionally worn as a neck pendant, the Tiki is believed to bring good luck, fertility, and protection to the wearer. It represents the first human form in Māori legend — a powerful ancestral connection that makes this pendant deeply meaningful for Kiwis and those who love Aotearoa. At 25mm, this compact version is perfect for everyday wear with subtle, understated style.
