Louise has been creating her distinctive style of jewellery for over 40 years. Combining pearls and gemstones- sourced from around the world - with sterling silver formed into balanced and unique shapes, her jewellery is desirable, wearable and characteristic of her style.
Louise loves colour and this can be seen in the lovely Gems and Pearls that are chosen with care and then artfully arranged to create earrings, rings and necklaces. Melon shaped Carnelians hand cut from India, Iridescent drops of Mother of Pearl, icicles in Pyrites, orange Oyster Shell, azure Chalcedony, sky blue Turquoise from Arizona, Ming Baroque Pearls in natural peachy pinks, sublime pink Opals from Peru and one of her favourites - Blue flash Labradorite from Labrador!
In 1989 Louise was commissioned by the Indian Government to spend a month designing and creating with three exporters of jewellery, her stay in Delhi and Mumbai left a lifelong love of India , the colours, patterns, and beautiful architecture. You can see this influence in her work to this day.
Having sold her collections in Liberty, Harrods, Fenwicks, Fortnum and Mason, and designing bespoke ranges, including for The V & A Shop, The Royal Pavilion, De Beers, Links of London and RBG Kew, Louise now sells her work through Galleries; and yearly with the Aldeburgh Studio Trail in June, at Salisbury House, Aldeburgh.

Hi Louise
Your beautiful necklace is a gift for a very very dear friend who is 70 this month. She is Cornwall born and bred. Me? Suffolk and proud!
The reason I have chosen your necklace is because **** and I always have gentle banter as to whose county is best.. Suffolk V Cornwall
So I really wanted to get her a beautiful handmade item from my home county. Yours sang to me and I know she will
Love it!
Thank you so much and I am so excited to give it to her
Kindest regards Sheenagh
I want to let you know again how happy J**** and I are with the beautiful hula ring that you made for us.
We are so grateful for your suggestion of the hula design as it fitted what I had imagined better than anything I had found, and we adore having a ring that is both truly individual and has a lovely story attached to it. How you have set the diamonds into the ring is so perfect - they look as though they were mined along with the gold and gives the whole ring a natural, somehow organic feel to it.
The pleasure of the experience of meeting you and spending some time with you will be held in the ring too, which is a lovely memory to have.
So…all our thanks for giving us something very special and totally unique, it means a lot to us.
Warmly,
I just wanted to write an email to you as my husband and I saw your beautiful collection on Saturday in Aldeburgh with my parents-in-law on the art trial. I instantly fell in love with one of your silver rings with gold (I think you call them pebble rings) and my husband loved it to. Unbeknown to me he went back later that day and surprised me with it and I haven’t taken it off since. It was a belated birthday present but I’m so glad to have waited until I found something I love.
This was also our first family holiday with our son who is just about to turn 6months old so it will hold special memories.
It’s such a beautiful and unique design and I love how the light catches the gold. It can be everyday or dressed up and I just can’t stop looking at it and I wanted to pass this on. You are very talented.
Hopefully see you at an art trail in the future.
Best wishes,
Emma
P.s: My mother-in-law also bought two pairs of your earrings so we’re all fans of your lovely designs!!!
What a lovely anniversary gift, totally love it
Thanks for your talent
Best Wishes
