Maori Jade Stylized Maori Mini Toki Necklace

Stylized Maori Mini Toki Necklace – Hand Carved Nephrite Jade Strength Pendant

Celebrate tradition in a refined and wearable size with this Stylized Maori Mini Toki Necklace, hand carved from authentic natural nephrite jade, the stone historically known as jade. This petite pendant, approximately 38–40mm (1.5 inches) in length, is a perfect representation of strength, determination, and leadership, all within a compact, elegant design.

Inspired by the traditional toki (adze) tool once used by Māori ancestors, this stylized version offers a modern twist while preserving its powerful symbolism. The toki was not only a practical tool but also a revered spiritual object, representing resilience, control, and wisdom. This mini version is ideal for those who want a subtle yet meaningful piece of cultural jewelry that can be worn every day.

Each piece is hand carved from natural, untreated nephrite jade, giving it an organic appearance and authentic texture. Expect unique variations in color and marbling, as no two pieces are exactly alike—ranging from deep forest greens to olive hues, sometimes with visible mineral inclusions that add to the character of the stone.

The pendant is strung on a hand-braided, adjustable cord, making it a one-size-fits-all piece. The sliding slip knots allow the necklace to be worn at various lengths, either close to the neck or longer on the chest, giving you versatile styling options whether you're dressing casually or formally. The cord is inspired by traditional Māori fiber work and is both strong and comfortable for daily wear.

Each necklace arrives in a gift pouch with a card explaining the cultural meaning of the toki and the spiritual significance of jade, making it an excellent gift for someone on a personal journey, entering a new phase of life, or in need of a symbol of inner strength.

This mini jade toki necklace is more than just a beautiful accessory—it’s a story of heritage, strength, and balance, carved into stone and designed to be worn close to the heart.
