INTO THE GREEN
In stock
INTO THE GREEN is an exquisite example of what we like to call 'classic' jewelry.
INTO THE GREEN is carved from a lovely piece of local New Zealand Jade, known as Pounamu. The design is a traditional chevroned toki - a small representation of the adze.
This piece is suspended from a fine 4-plait black cord which can be adjusted with a couple of slip knots. Wear it exactly where you'd like!
The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength. The adze was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful. They were used to carve ocean-going waka (sea canoes) and to build central meeting houses so they played a central role in traditional life of māori.
The toki is traditionally worn for strength and courage - to assist through life's challenges.
We also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
Delivery with Express Courier is included in the price.
