The Toki (Adze) is a symbol of strength, determination, and courage in times of adversity. The shape represents a tool often used by Maori for carving, shaping, and weaponry and was originally used for practical purposes. The Toki holds both honour and strength within it because it had to be strong so as to not break when being used as a tool. This adornment was worn by chiefs and leaders of Maori tribes and then passed down through the generations as an heirloom. It signifies focus, control, power, and wisdom to the wearer and enhances the life spirit as it is adorned.

The Heart is associated with unity, the expression of our true feelings and most loving connections. An everlasting symbol of unconditional love. One of the most renowned and recognised shapes is the heart - a universal symbol of love. To each individual, sharing the form of a heart may mean something unique, but embedded at its core are true feelings of love, unity and care. The permanence of a heart carved into greenstone embodies your thoughts, feelings and emotions in the perfect expression of love.
