About Koru:


The koru, which is often used in Maori art, is based on the shape of an unfurling fern frond.  Its circular shape conveys the idea of perpetual movement, and its inward coil suggests a return to the point of origin. The koru therefore symbolises the way in which life both changes and stays the same.

About Toki:

The toki (adze) is a type of blade, is associated with
determination, control, strength, focus and hope. 

About Pounamu:

No two pieces of pounamu are the same, and every stone is treated with the utmost respect by those who source and carve it.

Renowned for its beauty and strength, the rare stone is highly valued by both Maori and greater New Zealand. While generically known as ‘greenstone’ Pounamu refers to the particular types of hard nephrite jade, bowenite or serpentine found only in southern New Zealand.
