The Story: Polynesian tikis are traditional carvings found in the islands of Polynesia, such as Hawaii, Tahiti, and New Zealand. They are of significant cultural and spiritual importance in Polynesian societies, representing gods, ancestors or guardians. Often represented in the form of pendants, they symbolize protection, fertility or connection to ancestors. Tiki pendants are characterized by a stone cylinder covered with a chiseled gold motif representing a guardian or deity. It then becomes a talisman charged with mystery and energy, recalling the timeless links between man and nature, between the past and the present. Here, the central stone is a lapis lazuli, a stone known in lithotherapy to be a stone of wisdom and communication, to ease stress, enhance intuition and support self-expression.
