Luke Leaf
The artist behind this creationLuke spent the first 18 years of his life growing up in Ross, a small town on the West Coast of the South Island, also the home of New Zealand greenstone. From a tender age, Luke's artistic curiosity encompassed a wide range of art forms. It was during his time in High School that he was first introduced to Jade Carving through work experience, an encounter that sparked a deep connection with the art form. After completing high school, Luke immersed himself in the world of jade carving, honing his skills through work in various jade carving businesses. The dedicated pursuit of excellence allowed him to refine his craftsmanship.
The permanence of a heart carved into greenstone embodies your thoughts, feelings and emotions in the perfect expression of love.
The Heart
One of the most renowned and recognised shapes is the heart - a universal symbol of love. To each individual, sharing the form of a heart may mean something unique, but embedded at its core are true feelings of love, unity and care.
