The silver fern is one of New Zealands' most iconic plants. It has thin tightly curled fronds which open into a dense fern leaf over time. You see it littering our native bushscapes and can tell it apart from other flora because the underside of its' leaves are silver. This design is an ode to the silver fern.

Perfect gift for a new Kiwi
“Got it as a gift for a friend's New Zealand citizenship ceremony - they've embraced our outdoors, forests and mountains, so this best represented that connection with nature here. It looks really good, the size was perfect (not too big, not too small), and was a well received gift - my thanks to carver - it will be treasured and looked after. Kia ora! Simon”

Garry Fairbrother
The artist behind this creationGarry has had a passion for discovering pounamu since he was very young, at a time when only a small number of people were carving professionally. Born and bred just outside of Hokitika - the heart of New Zealand’s jade territory - Garry’s backyard was a very special place where spectacular and rare pieces of pounamu could be found. In his 30-year career to date, Garry’s artistic imagination and technical skills have combined to create some magical works of art, and his love for this valued stone is showcased through his highly regarded carvings.
