This striking Pāua Hei Toki pendant combines the natural beauty of New Zealand's Pāua shell with the powerful symbolism of the Hei Toki—a traditional Māori adze-shaped carving. Handcrafted with care, the pendant showcases vibrant, iridescent colours that range from deep blues and greens to purple hues, all shimmering and shifting with the light. Each piece of Pāua is unique, making every pendant a one-of-a-kind creation.

The Hei Toki shape has deep significance in Māori culture, representing strength, skill, and the ability to carve one's destiny. Traditionally, it was a tool used for shaping wood, and symbolically, it also represents personal and spiritual growth. In this pendant, the adze shape is a reminder of resilience, determination, and the connection between humanity and nature. The use of Pāua in this design adds another layer of meaning, symbolizing the connection to the ocean, protection, and ancestral heritage. The ocean, with its power and mystery, is a vital part of Māori cosmology and spiritual belief.

Scientific Composition:
Pāua (Haliotis iris) is an abalone species native to the coastal waters of New Zealand. Its shell is made up of aragonite (a form of calcium carbonate) and conchiolin, which create the iridescent layers that give the Pāua its stunning colour variations. The interplay of these layers forms a dazzling, iridescent effect that can shift depending on the angle of light. The shell is also incredibly durable and has been prized for its strength and beauty for centuries.

Key Features:
🔹 Material: Authentic New Zealand Pāua (Haliotis iris)
🔹 Shape: Hei Toki adze-inspired pendant, polished front and textured back
🔹 Cultural Significance: Strength, resilience, personal growth, connection to ancestors and the ocean
🔹 Scientific Composition: Aragonite (CaCO₃) and conchiolin, forming nacreous layers
🔹 Dimensions: Varies slightly due to natural shell formation
🔹 Finish: Smooth, polished front with natural textures on the back

Each Hei Toki pendant is a unique work of art, celebrating both the craftsmanship of traditional Māori tools and the beauty of New Zealand’s coastal treasures. Wear it as a symbol of strength and protection, carrying the essence of the ocean and ancestral wisdom wherever you go.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty of your Pāua Abalone Shell Pendant,

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials.
Store separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratches.

Due to the nature and age of the shell/animal, there was a lot of layering on the shell that comes with the animal's growth. This layering, even when sanded back, is likely to create snagging on loose knitted or crocheted clothing due to its rough texture on the upper shell.

Suspended from an adjustable waxed poly cord, this pendant is a versatile piece of jewellery that can be worn for any occasion. The adjustable cord length ensures a comfortable fit and allows you to customise the length of the pendant to suit your style and preference.

The Paua Abalone shell is revered in the Maori culture for its spiritual significance, believed to bring protection, prosperity, and good fortune. As you wear this pendant, you connect with the Maori heritage and invite a sense of spiritual harmony, tranquility, and abundance.

Whether you are seeking a meaningful gift or a personal adornment, this hand-carved New Zealand Rainbow Paua Abalone Shell Hei Toki Adze Axe Head Pendant is a symbol of the ocean's magic and the human connection to nature. Allow it to immerse you in the beauty and mystery of the sea, and let it inspire you to explore the depths of your soul.

True to size & Use a Drill
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Love this! Works perfectly for where I wanted it. I did measure my room incorrectly and thought it would be smaller, thankfully it’s not and thankfully it’s not bigger than the room itself. I did like how the whole thing was move-able but it was a bit annoying so I just added extra clips to the left of the middle one and unscrewed the right of the middle at the bottom so it opens like a door, this did make it a bit flimsy but duck taping it to the wall as anchor it works. 100% recommend, but do suggest a drill and a second set of hands to put it together, due to its size it can be a bit difficult to maneuver putting together yourself. Also if you have a clingy cat like I do, and think this will help keep them out, no, my cat who is very large can manage to squeeze underneath it.

waste of money
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
This is a total waste of money. Its only going to free stand if you arent moving it. If you are planning on dividing a room, and then folding these for space and then dividing the room again, itll last a few days. The poles kept coming off of the screws that holds the fabric on the poles together. Was fixing this EVERY DAY. Finally got tired of doing this and just threw it out. Lot of money spent on garbage. Get a sheet room divider, or something that isnt cheaply made. Was simply making an office type space in a bedroom, to seperate the two areas for work, and folding it kept making the poles come off those twisted screws. just not worth it.

Absolutely love this room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
When they say you can't see anything through it, they are correct. As you can see by the video, the cars are traveling by with the sunlight on the divider and you still can't see any cars passing nor can you see the ones in the parking lot. You can also tell it blocks out the sunlight too which is a definite plus for our store. Quality material on the divider. Material is nice and snug on the poles with no ripples. I also like the base of these, they make the divider nice and sturdy and can be adjusted if floor is uneven. Also the design of the legs allow them to go under your furniture. Also putting them together is pretty easy. Just make sure you when you are putting the poles together to make sure at the top of the pole that the indent screw hole faces out. This makes for a better look. The directions don't say which way to turn and at 1st, I had one, one way and the other was another way as both ways work that way but I wanted a uniform/better look.

Works well, need power tool to assemble
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Sturdy enough, especially when feet are positioned for balance. Works perfectly to create a WFH “cubicle”. Can adjust the size to provide complete privacy or fold back a panel when I want more openness. The fabric panels are not perfectly taught, but pretty close. The only negative is that without my husband’s power drill/screwdriver we wouldn’t have been able to put it together. It would take the strength of Thor to do it with just a manual screwdriver.

Now I don't have to see the "black hole" that used to be my family room!
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
I have an adult child living at home and his bedroom is tiny, so he's pretty much taken over the family room. We are both much happier now that the divider is up. It is about 12 feet long and gives him privacy to watch his movies and play his video games. And I don't have to see all the shoot-em-up stuff he likes to watch. I put the divider together with just a screwdriver (not a power one, that would be nice but I don't have so I had to use a little elbow grease.) It took a couple hours. The instructions are straightforward. I did have to use my long dining room table to attach the feet to the divider panels, which was a bit tricky. But I'm really pleased with the end result. I'm NOT a handywoman, so I feel proud that I did it "all by myself." He wanted the black fabric, but I think the lighter colors would have been better for a room that gets hot in the summer. Just my opinion. Whatever color you choose, I think you'll like the end result.
