Meet our Carvers
The Hands Behind Our Taonga
Every piece of pounamu has its own natural character, and every carver brings their own skill, care and creative vision to the stone.
At Honeys Greenstone, we are proud to showcase genuine New Zealand pounamu jewellery created by talented carvers from across Aotearoa. Their craftsmanship transforms each piece of stone into meaningful taonga that can be worn, gifted and treasured for years to come.
No two carvings are exactly alike. Variations in colour, markings and shape are part of what makes every piece so special.
Ray Anderson
Pounamu Carver — Christchurch, New Zealand
Based in Christchurch, Ray creates beautifully finished Pounamu pendants inspired by traditional forms and the natural character of the stone.
His work includes meaningful designs such as Toki, Pikorua, Roimata, Hei Matau and other carefully shaped taonga. Each piece is individually crafted, allowing the colour, patterns and unique qualities of the pounamu to remain an important part of the finished design.
Ray’s carvings are valued for their clean lines, balanced shapes and smooth finish, creating taonga that feel both timeless and contemporary.
