A slender, finely carved toki by Kerry Thompson, made from mixed green flower jade. The stone exhibits the variegated quality characteristic of flower pounamu - subtle shifts in tone and colour that give this piece depth and presence.
Kerry has applied a matte finish to the surface, allowing the curves and edges to register clearly against the skin. The design features two offset koru carved through opposing sides of the toki. A subtle indentation descends from the tip of the upper koru, flowing past the lower motif like a wave. A corresponding indentation rises from the lower koru, passing the upper. The effect visually connects the two forms while maintaining their integrity as separate, distinct elements.
The elegantly tapered profile gives the piece a light, graceful presence. The carved koru catch and hold light, creating contrast across the face of the toki.
A single, original work by a terrific New Zealand artist.
Traditionally, the toki is worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges, and the koru is a symbol of rebirth, growth and new beginnings.
The Koru heart is all about new beginnings - the courage to successfully deal with anything the future has in store for you.
We provide this beautiful piece on an adjustable tan cord and lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
We include our 'Kia Ora' cards explaining the meaning behind both the Toki and Koru design.
