Hei Matau Hook - Siberian Nephrite Jade Necklace || JF1364

JF1364 || Hand-carved hei matau hook from AAA+ Siberian Nephrite Jade by artist Joe Foster - strung on a four plaited black colored waxed cord with adjustable sliding knots.

My personal favorite hook pendants carved in flawless olive and bight green Siberian Nephrite Jade

This exquisite carving combines the power of two significant symbolic designs: the Hei Matau and the Koru. 

Dimensions: 51.5mm x 29 x4mm

The Hei Matau, or hook, symbolizes safe passage over water and a connection to the life-giving ocean. It represents prosperity, good fortune, and the strength and determination needed to navigate life's challenges.

The Koru, a spiral inspired by the unfurling fern frond, is subtly incorporated into the design. It symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and the promise of a peaceful new life.

Together, these symbols create a powerful meaning:

• A Safe Journey to a Prosperous New Life. The hook acts as a guardian, protecting you on your journey while guiding you toward a future filled with growth and renewal.

• The Interconnectedness of Life. The fusion of the hook and the spiral represents how the journey and the destination are intertwined in a continuous cycle of growth and change.

This Hei Matau is a personal blessing for a future filled with strength, safe travels, and new beginnings. It is a symbol of the adventurer’s spirit and the peaceful promise of a blossoming life.
