An ancient symbol of status and protection from bad/evil spirits-the Tiki. 

Each Hei Tiki is hand-sculpted with precision, transforming ancient jade into a personal guardian that carries the spirit of Te Wai Pounamu. This connection ensures that every piece is not just an ornament, but a continuation of the history and a tribute to the enduring connection of the stone back to Papatūānuku (the Earth Mother).

Features:
  • Genuine Pounamu: Hand-carved from authentic Pounamu (Jade).
  • Cultural Significance: A traditional, meaningful design embodying protection and prestige.
  • Unique Artistry: Each stone has natural color variations, making your tiki one-of-a-kind.
  • Hand-finished: Polished to a smooth finish that feels beautiful against the skin.
Symbolism & Meaning:
  • Ancestry: Known as a direct link to ancestors and a keeper of family stories.
  • Protection: Worn as a talisman to keep the wearer safe.
  • Fertility & Wisdom: The hand-on-loin design symbolizes fertility, while the head represents inner knowledge.
Care Instructions
To maintain the shine and spiritual integrity of your taonga, wear it often—the natural oils from your skin help nourish the stone. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth. When not in use, store it in a special pouch.

Continuing the ancient practice of stone carving, the South Island carvers link the raw power of the land with modern craftsmanship.  Sourcing pounamu directly from the rugged riverbeds of the west coast, these artisans maintain a direct lineage to the traditional techniques used for centuries (authenticated by the Kai Tahu tribe verification system).
