Toki(Adze) – The Toki had much meaning for the Māori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Māori. That is the reason Māori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol resembles determination, control, strength, focus and honor.
Roimata/Teardrop - Named for their teardrop shape, meaning tears of sadness or grief, and are widely regarded as touchstones in healing and meditation. It is often called the comfort stone and given to show sympathy, shared emotion and that they, the receiver, is not alone in their grief. The drop pendants are also believed to represent a connection to the whenua (the land) Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Hei Tiki
According to legends Tiki was the first man on Earth who originated from the stars. The first mortal person who created the first woman after his image. The exact meaning of the Tiki is disputed. There are several opinions but the most accepted are that the Tiki stands for fertility. Traditionally regarded as a good luck charm meant to keep evil spirits away.
Heart
Heart pendants symbolizes love, deep affection or, appreciation for someone and are not unique to one type of love. They are the ideal gift to represent friendship, devotion, affection and romantic and enduring love, they convey a powerful statement about love, which makes them an ideal gift for just about anyone. Hearts can be given to show your love for your mother or other family members, a great way to show your love if you are far apart. It is also a great way to show appreciation for your BFF or even yourself; allowing the piece to represent a personal meaning or a remembrance for a loved one who has passed. When you give a person, you love a heart inspired piece of jewellery you are giving them a piece of you. Each time they wear it they will be reminded of you.
