Haere mai to the toki earrings.
Inspired by one of the oldest and most recognised symbols in Māori design, the toki carries strength, courage, and the quiet leadership of doing the hard thing anyway. Each earring features a single mangōpare design, a traditional kōwhaiwhai pattern representing the hammerhead shark, known for its determination and strength when changing direction. Together, they are a small but steady reminder that real strength is not standing still, it is having the courage to move.
These toki earrings are available in two colourways, red and bone white. Red carries the meaning of whero, Te Whei Ao, the realm of becoming and being, connecting us with Papatūānuku, our Earth Mother, and the life force she sustains. Bone white reflects mā, the colour of light and Te Ao Mārama, the world of awareness, where we live, see, and come to understand all that is.
3D printed individually in PLA, these toki earrings have a strong yet comforting feel in the hand, with the mangōpare design pierced right through so light shows through the pattern itself.
Each piece is hand-finished with stainless steel earhooks and made to order in small batches in Christchurch, Aotearoa.
Your toki earrings have a soft satin finish and subtle wood grain texture. The longer you carry them, the more they becomes yours: proof that resilience isn’t something you just have once, it’s the courage you keep choosing, time after time.
