• Masterful Craftsmanship: The finish is a testament to the carver's expertise, showcasing an immaculate, satin-matte polish that allows the inherent beauty of the jade to take precedence.

A little about this design...

The matau, or hook pendant is revered throughout the South Pacific as a symbol for life, well-being and prosperity. Its significance arises from the key role that fishing has played in sustaining island families and communities. The owner of a good hook was respected and held a place of authority in the community.

The Hook:  The wearer of a Hei-Matau is seen as a provider and protector who is strong willed and determined to succeed in life - what a lovely sentiment to gift to someone important to you.

DUSK is provided with a hand-plaited, adjustable cord. Wear it where it suits you best!
