- The Greenstone Hook carving is based on a traditional Maori design. Greenstone is considered to be a stone with prestige, or Mana. The Fish Hook design is associated with Maui, a demigod who fished up the North Island of New Zealand using only a woven line and a carved fish hook. The Hook also symbolizes talent, prosperity and is a symbol of strength.
- The Paua Shell Koru is an ancient symbol of peace. The spiraling Koru form is based on an unfurling fern frond or breaking wave. The Koru represents new life and growth as well as peace, while the inner point of the spiral represents a return to a place of origin. The Paua Shell this piece is made from is a symbol of beauty.
- The Double Twist Bone Carving represents two lives entwining in the bond of friendship.
