A Rei Niho carries the spirit of strength, leadership, and deep connection. Traditionally worn by high rangatira (chiefs), this revered form was once carved from the rare teeth of the parāoa (sperm whale), a symbol of status, wisdom, and unwavering determination.
Whether chosen for yourself or gifted to a loved one, this Rei Niho serves as a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and the path ahead. It holds the essence of those who have walked before us, their guidance woven into every curve, their wairua (spirit) ever-present.
Let this taonga be more than an adornment - let it be a quiet strength, a whisper of history, and a connection to something far greater than ourselves.
