Pounamu Hei Tiki | Dean Moreton Jewellery

A Pounamu Hei Tiki is a traditional Maori pendant carved from greenstone, a type of jade found in New Zealand. It is considered to be a taonga, or sacred treasure, and is often passed down through generations.

The Hei Tiki is a symbol of fertility, good luck, and strength of character, and is said to bring protection to its wearer.

The Hei Tiki is typically carved in a human form, with a stylized head and body. The eyes are often inlaid with paua shell, a type of iridescent abalone found in New Zealand. The tongue of the Hei Tiki is often protruding, which is said to symbolize defiance and protection.

Hei Tikis are considered to be very personal and valuable objects, and are often worn close to the skin. They are a reminder of the wearer's connection to their ancestors and their Maori heritage.
