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.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.

Perfect for what I needed - getting a 2nd one.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Putting it together was a BEE-OTCH!! Yes, one of the tubes had the top cap installed at the wrong end (& getting it off required tools), and yes, stretching the fabric to get the screws in was incredibly hard...but am I buying another one? YES! After all is said and done, this is a great room divider. I opted out of installing the paddle feet & it still works perfect. It won't filter light all that great and even though it stands on its own, it can be blown over easily - but for the price? Excellent. If I wanted a heavy duty, thicker, more expensive one, I would've bought one. The 2nd one is on the way. Perfect height, no weird smell, nice and light and easy to move around.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN 😊
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I purchased RANTILA 3 Panel Room Divider, 6 Ft Tall Folding Privacy Screen Freestanding Room Partition Wall Dividers, 102''W x 20''D x 71''H, Grey. For outdoor use on my patio is perfect . PRIVACY!!! YAY! It was packaged very carefully. There were no missing parts. Instructions were there but I still had to use the video visually. A few screws would not screw in. So I used a hammer with a few good taps that helped using the screw driver. 😊 It was easy putting it together following the directions. Everything is well made. Love the height, functionality and it’s definitely light it works. Thank you

It’s really pretty decent except for one thing.
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel
I bought two of these for my basement and they do look great. They were easy to assemble and I’m happy with them. The problem is that the stitching on the fabric panels are almost the size of a machine basting stitch (which for non sewers means large temporary stitches). Because the panels are tight by design, the stitches had already started to come undone before I could finish assembling everything. Fortunately I can sew and I reinforced all the panels. I had to take the first ones back off the poles to do them but I did the second set before assembling. It’s really not a bad product for the money. It’s quality fabric and the design itself looks great. The stitching looks fine but it’s just not substantial enough for the purpose it is supposed to serve. I can’t imagine why it be sewn so insufficiently. I was able to resolve my issue because I can sew. I wasn’t planning on sewing nor did I really have the time. I could have made it myself but I didn’t want to and that is why I purchased this. I ended up using valuable time. The really unfortunate thing is, I have no other complaints. This is a manufacturing problem.
