Louise Douglas
Louise brings together a love of art, nature, and fashion to create her keepsake pieces. With an organic aesthetic borne from an upbringing in nature's surroundings, her jewellery designs express memories of a childhood spent exploring the native forest and seaside.
Louise relishes in the process of bringing small objects into the world and sending them out to evoke curiosity and beauty.
Starting her first jewellery company at age 18, Louise sold work to design stores in her home country of New Zealand. She then went on to design collections in the United States for private label and runway at large fashion jewellery houses in NewYork City. Her work has been sold to high-end department stores, galleries and exclusive boutiques throughout Japan, the US and NZ.
Her current work draws influence from classic victorian and art nouveau jewellery, with her own modern twist. Sometimes playing with the relationship between beauty and decay, she encourages the viewer to appreciate natureʼs subtle imperfections.
