Inanga Toki
This exquisite 5 cm toki pendant, crafted from inanga pounamu, captures the essence of whitebait swimming up the awa (river) in their annual migration. The toki’s classic colouring, with its subtle variations in silver and grey, perfectly mimics the appearance of whitebait as they navigate the freshwater currents. The toki’s smooth, polished surface reflects the light, creating a sense of movement and dynamism.

More than just a pendant, this toki is a symbol of resilience, determination, and the enduring connection between Māori and the natural world. The toki is also a symbol of determination and resilience. Whitebait are small fish that undertake an arduous journey up the awa, facing many challenges along the way. The toki reminds us that even the smallest creatures can achieve great things with perseverance.
