The toki (adze) was a chisel tool used by the Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) to carve their great canoes and detailing on their meeting houses. It was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful. Toki were worn by Māori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority in times of adversity. Nowadays, the toki is traditionally worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges.

The koru represents new beginning, growth and harmony.
