This piece of New Zealand Serpentinite showcases a dreamy mix of translucent, deep teal-green tones, exuding both elegance and mystery. Sourced from the rugged beaches of the South Island’s West Coast, each stone is personally collected and hand-carved into the traditional Toki shape.
What makes Serpentinite especially unique is its slightly porous nature. Over time, it may absorb the natural oils from your skin, gradually deepening in colour.
This beautiful transformation is not a flaw but a reflection of the stone's journey with you, growing more personal and rich in character with wear. The evolving shades add a special connection between you and the stone, making it a truly living piece of nature.
The pendant is paired with a hand-braided, adjustable waxed polyester cord, designed for both durability and comfort. The extendable length allows for versatility in how the pendant is worn, whether close to the heart or as a bold statement.
