STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT - an etched toki carved from gorgeous New Zealand Pounamu by Jeromy Van Riel.
STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT is a fabulous deep green toki, a traditionally designed pendant carved from a beautiful piece of New Zealand greenstone.
Glorious carving and beautiful jade - this is an awesome pendant if you are after something traditional. This will be with you for a lifetime!
STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT has been polished to a satin matte finish - perfect for this particular piece of jade. This final treatment highlights the changes in structure and colour in the stone.
As an adornment, the Toki, or Adze, is said to bring courage and strength in times of adversity. It is a symbol of courage and strength in times of adversity and is often worn by Maori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority.
Maori believe that carvings carry the spirit of those who wear them, becoming an important family Taonga (treasure) passed on to future generations of the family as an heirloom.
Also included, one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
