Greenstone Jade Maori Fish Hook Necklace – Hand Carved Hei Matau Pendant in Nephrite Jade

Carry the spirit of the ocean and the strength of Polynesian tradition with this handcrafted Greenstone Jade Maori Fish Hook Necklace. Skillfully carved from A/A+ Grade natural nephrite jade—also known as greenstone—this elegant pendant combines deep cultural significance with timeless style.

Measuring approximately 1.5 to 1.6 inches (38–40 mm) in length, this necklace is ideal for those who appreciate smaller, subtle pendants without compromising on meaning. Its stylized Maori design honors the traditional Hei Matau, a revered symbol in both Maori and Hawaiian cultures representing strength, prosperity, abundance, and safe travel across water.

Each fish hook is hand-carved by artisans who bring out the rich, earthy tones of the jade, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. The unique variations in color, shape, and texture highlight the beauty of working with untreated, natural jade. Nephrite jade has long been associated with spiritual grounding and emotional balance, making this necklace not just a statement accessory but a meaningful talisman.

This pendant is securely bound with a one-size-fits-all, hand-braided cord featuring adjustable sliding slip knots, allowing you to wear it at a variety of lengths depending on your preference. Whether worn close to the neck or hanging longer on the chest, it complements any outfit, from beachwear to everyday casual, with a touch of organic elegance.

The fish hook (Hei Matau) has been worn for centuries as a sign of respect to the ocean. It offers protection to travelers, especially those venturing across water, and is seen as a charm that brings good fortune and success. This makes the necklace a meaningful gift for surfers, sailors, adventurers, and anyone drawn to the sea or inspired by nature-based spirituality.

Each necklace is presented in a gift pouch and includes a card detailing the meaning and symbolism of the design, making it a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a token of encouragement and protection.

Own a piece of Maori heritage and the power of the sea with this Greenstone Jade Fish Hook Necklace—a small but mighty emblem of strength, beauty, and timeless tradition.
