Traditionally Toki were used by Māori to cut and work timber for the meeting houses and carvings. Because of the determination, control, and strength required to skilfully use the Toki it became a symbol of ability, power, and authority. Ceremonial Toki were traditionally worn by Māori elders and Chiefs to signify leadership qualities. May this Toki bring the wearer strength, courage and inspiration on their journey in life.

Pounamu or Greenstone is regarded as a stone sacred to the gods by the Māori of New Zealand. As a Taonga -meaning treasured, and it should be worn with respect and pride. Pounamu is a gift from the heart.
