Stunning dark green jade hei matau (fish hook) pendant.

This is a natural piece of hand carved nephrite jade, carved by a Maori artisan in Lake Taupo and personally sourced by us, ie the genuine article carved by a Maori in New Zealand (the majority to be found on the web today are carved in workshops in China under the "supervision" of Maori craftsman who may visit once a year).

In Maori culture the fish hook represents strength, good luck and safe travel across water.

• A-grade nephrite jade with beautiful translucency 
• Fully finished necklace with feature jade beads
  
• Maori carved from the Lake Taupo region of New Zealand 
• Equally beautiful as mens jewellery or womens jewellery
• This is a one-off unique item. No two are exactly the same
