Hapopo Curved Toki Necklace
75mm High
40mm Wide
13mm Deep
Once used as a tool by tangata whenua, the toki shape is now considered to symbolise strength, courage and determination. However, this said, it’s my belief that the wearer should cast their own intentions on the taonga based on their needs. All these treasures are a source of peace, mana and connection that uplift your mauri. They are also amazing sensory tools to feel or hold in tough times. This particular piece has been carved out of Hapopo pounamu, a stone that gets its name from the region it’s found Kā Umu o Hapopo (Big Bay). It often has beautiful flecks that run through the stone that range from reddish-brown to black.
All taonga I carve comes with a 100% organic cotton bag to keep it safe when not wearing.
*Note: This pounamu is authentic Aotearoa kōhatu and has been correctly sourced through acclaimed local Ōtautahi artist/carver; Jon Jeet—founder of the community initiative; Tūhono Taonga, Tūhono Tāngata. This cause helps empower and connect the local community through toi and Mātauranga Māori.
