Description
This 55mm Niho, carved from South Westland Pounamu, embodies the essence of strength and resilience. The Niho, or tooth, is a traditional Māori design symbolising a predator’s sharpness and tenacity. For the wearer, it represents courage, determination, and the ability to overcome life’s challenges.
The hidden hole and tan cord lashing give this taonga a refined and understated elegance, allowing the focus to remain on the deep green hues and natural beauty of the Pounamu itself. This taonga carries the mana of its origin, connecting the wearer to the whenua (land) of Te Wai Pounamu and the rich traditions of Aotearoa.
Wearing this Niho is more than adorning a beautiful piece of jewellery—it’s embracing a symbol of inner strength and perseverance, a reminder to face challenges head-on with courage and grace.
