Jade, Bone & Wood Carvings, Jewellery, Art & Sculptures.

I am so glad I found Thompson's carvers located in New Zealand. Kerry and Amanda are some of the nicest people They are so friendly and kind. The whole family is so talented. Krystal their daughter also tied me some beautiful cordage.

I am so happy with all my carvings I've got from them. They are absolutely amazing! Even though I've never met them in person, I feel like we have a long distance friendship.

"The detail of this black Wyoming Jade Hook is simply superb and amazingly carved with such fine and precise detail, that it truly belongs in a museum but instead it’s for me to cherish as my Taonga. Kerry Thompson is such an amazing artist that every work he makes is simply stunning! I’m a true loyal fan for life!"

"I have purchased many items from Kerry and Amanda over the years and it has been an absolute privilege. Their workman ship is the best I have ever come across. On top of that, they know what customer service means and will always go the extra mile for you. The easiest people to deal with even when creating custom pieces. Thank you both very much and I will definitely be buying more from you. Nga mihi nui"

“Thompsoncarvers provides me very good service, including high quality of stone materials, care of the customer’s need, efficient carving and fast shipping. Thompsoncarvers is definitely one of the best choice to look for stone carvings!”

"Thompson Carvers are a family owned business, friendly honest people, with family values. Their work is of the highest quality I’ve experienced.
These are four pieces I’ve purchased for family and friends over a two year period with no regrets and reasonably priced, still waiting to find one for myself.
I would recommend them as the best in their field to anyone."

"Thompson Carvers have always been exceptional to work with. Their work is one of a kind and their service matches the quality of their taonga"

"As a great fan of Jade/Pounamu I aim to identify artists who excel. I've been lucky enough to gather several pieces from Thompson Carvers. What can I say - Communication and service are excellent. The designs are original and brilliant. The execution of the carving is at master level. A very big recommendation from me. Wayne Aldridge, Manawatu"

"Thompson Carvers did 5 beautifully designed and carved pendants for my wife with her late fathers jade. Kerry was prompt in doing the carvings and delivery. This was my first time shipping outside the USA. Had a few minor hiccups but made it in short time with Kerry’s help. Now I have no problems shipping knowing how to do the paperwork correctly. Kerry is a master designer and carver with perfect quality finishes.
Thanks"

"Thank you for our beautiful taonga treasures, great communication, excellent packaging, arrived quickly safely. Works of art that we will pass on to our children"

"I had followed Thompson Carvers for a while and when I saw the flower-jade kingfish hook I had to have it. I appreciate the piece’s clean lines and the integration of the fish into the traditional hei matau motif. The workmanship is excellent - from the crisp details to the selection of the stone and the beautiful polish. I consider this heirloom quality. The Thompsons made payment and international shipping easy and the piece arrived promptly, safely, and was well packaged. I look forward to seeing what comes next out of the Thompson workshop."

“The feather pounamu I bought from Thompson carvers is absolutely gorgeous. I love how delicate it is and people always comment on it when I wear it. Buying it was so easy for me as I’m not very tech saavy. They’re very transparent and quick and easy. So I bought another piece for my grand daughter. Liz”

" I would like to share my experience dealing with you both when it comes to commission work.
I found both of you willing to listen to what I wanted and what I got was more than what I wanted...
Thank you very much for that.
It's always a joy to see your new products.
I have bought a number of Toanga from you. The beautiful Huia featherpounamu.
The beautiful earrings.
All the Toanga I have purchased are of the best quality. I love every piece.
I do recommend you to everyone. "

I was looking for a taonga. We live in Brisbane, but I wanted a customised one from home. I had messaged 5 other carvers in the year & had not received a response. I came across Thompson Carvers IG page. There were sooo many taonga on the page that I liked, so I screenshot some & sent a message. I wasn't expecting a response, but got one within an hour. Stoked! Had an awesome korero about which taonga. Our korero began early Jan 2022 & I the taonga was delivered to me in Feb, in Brisbane. Absolutely exceptional service, delivery & of course, mahi. I cried when it was delivered. 1000% recommend Thompson Carvers

I commissioned Kerry for a carving, and the whole experience has been awesome. Kerry's business is what any client is ideally expecting and looking for, in other words a business model. Excellent communication, quick replies, answering all the questions, amazing follow up of the carving with photos and videos, and respecting the promised delay to make the task. Kerry also understood my spiritual expectation for this carving which is part of a special project. Their choice for the jade and its origin was another element I highly appreciated. Finally, a very skilled carver; I love the result of my carving. I am feeling honoured that Kerry has been part of this particular project and helped me to realised it.So, I can only recommend them for their great work, you will won't be disappointed!Cédric, a very grateful client.
