Cultural Significance:

Hei Toki (Adze): In Māori culture, the Hei Toki shape represents strength, courage, and leadership. Traditionally used as a tool, the adze shape in jewelry symbolizes empowerment and the ability to shape one’s own destiny. Wearing a Hei Toki pendant is believed to instill these qualities in the wearer, making it a powerful symbol of resilience and determination.
Spiritual and Metaphysical Significance:

Aragonite: Striped aragonite is known for its grounding and stabilizing effects, making it an ideal stone for those seeking balance and clarity in their lives. It helps to calm emotional turbulence and provides a solid foundation for spiritual growth. The distinct stripes of the stone reflect the layered experiences of life, promoting wisdom and insight.

Sustainable Collaboration:

Ethical Sourcing: This pendant has a unique story. The stone used comes from broken pieces originally intended for heart-shaped carvings by another small business, "I Dig Dinos." Instead of discarding these stones, they generously pass them on to me to see if I can give them a second life. After crafting these pendants, the finished pieces are shared between our two businesses. This collaboration not only supports sustainability but also strengthens the bond between small businesses, turning what was once discarded into a beautiful and meaningful piece of jewellery.

Features:

Adjustable Cord: The pendant comes with an adjustable cord, allowing you to customize the length for a perfect fit.
Polished Finish: The aragonite is expertly polished to accentuate its natural stripes, creating a smooth surface that catches the light beautifully.
Versatile Wear: This pendant is designed for everyday wear or special occasions, bringing a touch of cultural heritage and spiritual significance to your look.

Care Instructions:

Clean your pendant with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its luster.
Avoid exposing the pendant to water, chemicals, or extreme temperatures to preserve its finish.
Store the pendant in a soft pouch or box to protect it from scratches.
