Creative Jade

Creative JadeThe artist behind this creationA shared love of jade has unified a team of independent jewellers, jade carvers and woodturners to create bespoke artworks under the Creative Jade collective. While all members of Creative Jade are New Zealanders, they hail from diverse backgrounds; their particular talents may have been honed in Scotland or South Africa, or on a marae (Māori meeting grounds) in Rotorua.

Traditionally, the toki or adze was expertly lashed to carved wooden shafts and wielded as tools and ceremonial objects by Māori.

Pounamu Toki - A Symbol of Strength

The Toki

Toki are now worn around the neck as a symbol of strength and courage. This association links back to when toki blades crafted from pounamu were used as woodcutting tools due to pounamu's exceptional strength. It is said the Toki takes on the mauri or life force of the wearer, and this essence is passed from generation to generation.
