New Zealand Greenstone Pounamu Toki Pendant with Sterling Silver Decorative Cap & 42cm Silver Chain – Handmade by Lindsay Mackenzie

Experience the natural beauty of New Zealand Pounamu with this exquisite handcrafted Greenstone Toki Pendant, created by renowned Rotorua artisan Lindsay Mackenzie.

Expertly shaped and polished, this striking pendant showcases the deep forest-green tones and subtle natural variations characteristic of New Zealand greenstone. Its traditional Toki-inspired shape features a narrower top that gradually widens towards the base, creating a beautifully balanced and elegant silhouette.

The pendant is complemented by a stunning sterling silver decorative cap, featuring intricate flowing leaf and vine-inspired cut-out detailing. The highly polished silver contrasts beautifully with the rich greenstone beneath, adding sophistication and individuality to the design. A substantial polished sterling silver bail completes the setting.

Measuring approximately 60mm in length (excluding the bail), the pendant is 14mm wide at the top and gradually broadens to 24mm at the bottom. Its smooth, polished finish highlights the natural character and unique colour variations of the stone.

The pendant is supplied with a 42cm sterling silver chain, measuring 1.60mm in thickness, providing a refined and complementary finish to the necklace.

The Meaning of the Toki

In Māori tradition, the Toki represents strength, courage, determination and leadership. Originally inspired by the traditional adze used as an essential tool, the Toki has become a meaningful symbol of resilience, achievement and personal strength.

This makes the pendant a thoughtful gift for celebrating important milestones, new beginnings, personal achievements or special occasions.

Authentic New Zealand Craftsmanship

Handmade in Rotorua, New Zealand, by Lindsay Mackenzie, this pendant reflects skilled local craftsmanship and an appreciation for the natural beauty of Pounamu.

The combination of traditional Toki styling, beautifully polished greenstone and detailed sterling silver work creates a distinctive jewellery piece suitable for everyday wear or treasured as a meaningful keepsake.

Each piece of natural greenstone displays its own individual colour variations and markings, adding to its unique character.
