Toki and Pikorua Wedding Set

Having two pendants carved from the same piece of pounamu is special. It connects the wearers in a tangible way that fits perfectly with the commitments made at a wedding.

This set is made from high quality deep green kawa kawa pounamu from the Arahura River. It is joy to carve and work with.

The pikorua is a modern age symbol. It evokes strong symbols of connection, relationships, and intertwining lives. It is endless and so represents longevity and eternity. It is often used to represent people or cultures coming together and intertwining as one.

The modern Hei Toki, often worn around the neck as a pendant, represents foremost strength, authority, and leadership. It is can also a symbol of power, courage, wisdom, determination, self-control, and focus.
