Stone Meanings
-
Hei Matau
Shop DesignThe hook that carries safe passage. Traditionally worn by those who travel — across water, across life's journeys — as a symbol of strength, prosperity, and safe return home.
-
Koru — Spiral
Shop DesignShaped after the unfurling frond of the ponga, the koru traces that first curl of new growth. It represents new beginnings, growth and peace — a piece for a fresh start, a new chapter, or simply the reminder that things keep moving forward.
-
Manawa — Hearts
Shop DesignA simple form carrying a simple truth: manawa speaks to aroha and connection. Worn for the people who matter — given, or kept close as a reminder of who's in your corner.
-
Niho — Tooth
Shop DesignModelled on shark or whale teeth, niho represent strength, leadership and a connection to the ocean. A piece for the West Coast in particular — carved from stone shaped by the same sea it points back to.
-
Toki — Adze
Shop DesignBefore it was a symbol, the toki was a tool — shaped to cut, shape and build. Carrying one today speaks to strength, resilience and determination — the qualities of someone carving their own way forward. It's a piece for anyone in the middle of something hard, reminding them they've got what it takes to see it through.
-
Roimata — Drop
Shop DesignNamed for its teardrop form, roimata is widely regarded as a comfort stone symbolising healing, remembrance and emotional strength. Worn close to the heart, it's a reminder of love and connection that endures — through grief, through distance, through whatever the wearer is carrying.
-
Porohita — Discs
Shop DesignMeaning circle or circular, the porohita has no beginning and no end. It symbolises the ever-flowing cycle of life and the interconnected nature of all things — a shape for anyone who feels the pull of what came before and what's still to come.
-
Kōuma — Breastplate
Shop DesignResembling breastplate armour, kōuma represent strength and protection, providing guardianship to the wearer. Traditionally worn over the chest, it's a piece that stands guard — over the person wearing it and the people they hold dear.
