Robert Singer

The artist behind this creationSince Robert found his first piece of jade at 5 years old, the stone has been both a fascination and a muse. Fast forward to the late seventies, when Robert got his formal start in the jade industry - serving an apprenticeship as lapidarian on New Zealand’s West Coast. Jade was plentiful in this area at the time and he quickly discovered a spirit of creativity that carving allowed him to explore. Scrimshaw and etching are trademarks of Robert’s jade art. Through this intricate sculptural medium, Robert expresses his love of nature and the great outdoors.

Traditionally, the toki or adze was expertly lashed to carved wooden shafts and wielded as tools and ceremonial objects by Māori.

The Toki

Toki are now worn around the neck as a symbol of strength and courage. This association links back to when toki blades crafted from pounamu were used as woodcutting tools due to pounamu's exceptional strength. It is said the Toki takes on the mauri or life force of the wearer, and this essence is passed from generation to generation.
