My name is Brad Taylor and I am the artisan behind Taylors Wildstone & Jewellery.

From an early age, I have been drawn to adventure and the joy of creation. As a child, I developed a love for collecting stones, and throughout my life I’ve spent countless hours crafting in the garage whether this has been woodwork or creating something for around the home.

Over the past year, I have discovered the beauty and cultural significance of pounamu, New Zealand’s treasured greenstone. A thoughtful gift from a friend - a set of carving tools - ignited my passion for working with this remarkable material. When I am not working my full time job or with my wife and three beautiful children, you’ll likely find me exploring the breath taking beaches of the West Coast, sourcing stones or crafting unique creations that celebrate the essence of pounamu.
