THE LONG DIVE

THE LONG DIVE - large whale bone Toki pendant

Carved from the rib bone of a mighty sperm whale, this striking toki carries the legacy of one of the ocean’s deepest divers. The bone’s natural texture shines through - structured, rugged, and full of character. It has a soft polish which promotes its raw, granular detail.

Bound with a kalahari tan adjustable cord and cobalt blue binding, THE LONG DIVE will grow more distinctive with time, developing a richer patina the more you wear it.

A tribute to strength, resilience, and the depths beneath the waves. 🌊✨

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.

THE LONG DIVE is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
