Koru Pounamu Toki

Once a tool wielded by Māori, when worn around the neck the Toki represents courage, and with courage comes strength and power. The Toki holds great significance in Māori culture as a powerful symbol of mana (prestige) and honour. The koru refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to “going back to the beginnings”. The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
