9 Carat Gold Capped Pounamu Toki Pendant
 
An elegant Edwardian pounamu pendant, exquisitely carved in the form of a toki—a traditional adze blade that has come to symbolise strength, determination, and leadership. This beautiful talisman serves today as a powerful emblem of focus, control, and honour, a poignant reminder of resilience and the unwavering purpose required to forge one’s own path. The pendant’s end is gracefully capped with a 9-carat gold chased and engraved foliate design, adding a delicate flourish that complements the organic beauty of the greenstone.
 
Measuring 5.6cm from base to top ring and 5.1cm from base to bail, this pendant offers versatile styling options. It is presented without a chain, allowing the discerning new Eco-Guardian to pair it with a preferred chain, whether that be a classic belcher, a refined Singapore style, or a lightweight cable link—each choice lending its own character according to personal taste and comfort.
 
Remarkably preserved in pristine condition, this antique piece has been carefully cherished in the UK for over a century, ensuring its enduring quality and timeless elegance. As a treasure of the circular economy, it holds not just aesthetic appeal but also ethical significance, having been thoughtfully repatriated to New Zealand for renewed appreciation and wear.
 
A truly exquisite Edwardian jewel to cherish, embodying heritage, sustainability, and enduring symbolism.
