Feather Capped Toki Earrings

With inspiration taken from the traditional Māori ‘toki’ adze form, and capped with our signature Fan Fail, these earrings combine the strength and courage of the Toki with the playful spirit of the Pīwakawaka. A beautiful way to wear the rich green of New Zealand’s precious jade every day. Māori cherish this beautiful and increasingly rare stone that holds great meaning. Pounamu, a nephrite jade and is also known as greenstone. Found exclusively in Te Waipounamu (the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand) pounamu is a taonga (treasure) that was prized as both currency and a means of coalescing Māori whakapapa (birthright and genealogy) and pounamu that was handed down through generations was the most revered.
