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.

Winner !!!
Color: Orange
This amazed us. For perspective, we're talking about a three year old white german shepherd who if he's in the mood, has and can kill a toy within minutes or oddly enough be gentle with furry balls and carry them around as if they are his babies. He's an odd duck. Anyway, since he was a pup, and to this day, he'll play and entertain himself, he'll grab a ball, throw it up in the air, then pounce on it as if it's from outer space. It's really quite cute and funny. Because of those two things I was looking for something interactive that would entertain him and confuse him....let's be honest, watching a confused dog is one of life's great pleasures. I tried two other interactive balls and they were crushed immediately. After reading a lot of reviews, people with german shepherds said this ball actually had a life span. I thought the third time could be the charm and ordered one. Well, I think it actually may be from outer space because he's obsessed with it and hasn't taken a bite out of it. He hasn't once chewed it or even teared little pieces off. The three settings are great. Sometimes he likes one better than another, then forgets about the others. I'll change it up to one he hasn't seen in a while and the whole game starts over again. He'll throw it up in the air as he does with his others, watch it and try to figure out which way it's going to go. And yes, he will pounce on it if he times it right. The size is perfect, it's heavier than your average ball but, that's what make it sturdy. I have to sneak it away when he isn't paying attention to charge it, otherwise he'll sit, stare and cry if he knows it's on the counter charging. It's a lot of fun for all of us. I'm so happy I bought it...... I say give this ball a chance even if you have a beast with killer instincts. I'm buying another for a friends 2 year old golden retriever granddog. Thank you Cheerble.

Great quality and folding it in half is a plus. Fits under a seat in car/truck.
Purchased another, as we need one in each car. This is a great ball thrower, especially as it folds in a half. Makes it easy to store under a car/truck seat. Haven’t had any problem with it, great quality!

Fantastic throwing aid!
Very well made, great quality and doesn't feel cheap at all. It's thick, not flimsy or fragile so you can really swing it to launch a ball. Saves my body that I don't have to bend over to pick up the ball anymore, and saves my shoulder that I don't have to hurl the ball anymore. Another bonus is you don't have to touch a slobbered, soggy ball, or a ball covered in dirt. The foldable design is fantastic because I walk everywhere with my dog and don't want to carry around a long stick that's awkward to hold. This folds down small enough that I can securely put it in the back pocket of my jeans without worrying about it falling out. The thing I love most about it is there's a elastic loop at the end so when you fold it you can latch it securely. This small detail is outstanding because I can also hang it on the strap of my sling bag and with the loop secured it will not slip off the strap. This product is so well made and thought out overall.

Excellent toy for play
My dog would play all day if I threw the ball to him. He loves this even though he's 12. The scooped end allows you to pick up the ball without touching it. After a few runs it's covered in dog slobber. So that's a major plus for me! Also, some health issues affect my walking and bending at times. This helps with the bending. This is a great game to play with your favorite friend!

Your high-energy dog will love it!
Why did I wait so long to get one of these?!? I am the stereotypical throws-like-a-girl person, and my dog really needs to have an option that forces her to run far and fast. This is it. I can get that ball half a soccer field away at a minimum if I want. The ball is super bouncy, which adds an element of fun to her attempts to tame it and bring it back. Super worth the money (which wasn't much!). I've never had one of these before, so can't compare to the non-folding version. This one is easy to carry and fits in a drawer for storrage. No way you can fit it in a pocket, especially if you have a phone in one and dog treats in the other.
