WHĀNAU – Hand-Carved Bone Pendant by Kerry Thompson

Whānau is a striking, one-of-a-kind pendant by acclaimed New Zealand artist Kerry Thompson. Expertly hand-carved from bone, this medium-sized piece blends intricate design with contemporary artistry. Finished with a sleek, adjustable wapiti brown cord, it offers versatility and elegance.

Named after the Māori word for “family,” Whānau embodies heritage and identity while maintaining a modern aesthetic. Kerry’s staining technique enhances the bone’s depth and texture, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.

More than just jewellery, this pendant is a wearable work of art - an expression of craftsmanship, culture, and timeless design.

Kerry has used a natural white bone, polished to a beautiful bright finish. The intertwined carved centre is stained in a pale brown and polished to a matte finish - a beautiful contrast that really highlights his wonderful carving skill.

Watch the brief video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.

WHĀNAU is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
