Timoti

You will not find any mass produced, factory line, machine cut pieces here. You are all individual, and we believe your jewelry should reflect that.

Timoti, a Māori artist, was lead to this mahi by a series of moemoeā (dreams) and the team is personally invested in each toanga. Timoti gathers each stone from the valleys of Te Tau Ihu, Aotearoa (Nelson, New Zealand). Each piece of toanga, a treasure, is designed and carved by Timoti himself.

Each stone has its own unique colors and patterns, strengths and flaws, so Timoti allows the stone to inform the design rather than forcing the stone to conform to the desires of the artist.

Every toanga by Timoti has its own personality and story. Every toanga by Timoti holds its own mystery and spirit, just like you!
