As a traditional Māori adornment, the toki necklace was often gifted to someone who was deserving of recognition or honor. And now, today when worn around the neck it represents one's strength since it has such an affiliation with chiefs and an increased life force due to its connection with the Toki Poutangata.
Worn by warriors, The Toki is as a symbol of strength, and carries with it deep symbolism associated with mana, reverence and bravery.
