Jade Cobble Pendant

"Niho – The Tooth of the Deep"

Crafted from a deep green cobble of New Zealand nephrite jade—pounamu, greenstone—this pendant embodies the fierce beauty and ancient power of Aotearoa. Shaped in three dimensions to resemble a niho, or tooth—echoing the form of a shark’s tooth—this piece speaks of resilience, instinct, and the silent strength of the ocean.

All surfaces have been carved and shaped to reveal the smooth, polished heart of the stone, grounding the pendant in its natural origin. Polished on both sides, it carries the tactile contrast of refinement and rawness—a conversation between what is revealed and what remains.

Worn close to the chest on an adjustable woven cord, this piece invites a deep, personal connection to the whenua (land), moana (sea), and the ancient forces that shaped both stone and story. It is not merely an adornment, but a talisman—of protection, presence, and ancestry.

No two are the same. This one has found you.
