A hand-carved bangle cast in oxidised sterling silver, its surface covered in the dense, pitted texture of coral.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, the bangle is hand-carved in wax before being cast in sterling silver, hand-finished, and oxidised to a dark antique tone. The coral surface catches and holds the light across its full circumference — tactile in the hand, considered on the wrist. Worn alone or added to a stack, it carries the quiet weight of something made to last.

ABOUT the MAKER
Louise Douglas
Louise Douglas works from her studio in Nelson, New Zealand, casting jewellery directly from the natural world — seashells, twigs, leaves, found objects — and from a deep affection for the particular and the remembered. Her pieces are small-batch, made by hand using the lost wax casting technique, and finished in oxidised sterling silver, solid gold, and freshwater pearl. The collection spans botanical drop earrings and delicate necklaces through to bangles and rings — each piece rooted in the same making process, the same sensibility. There is nothing generic in Louise's work. Every form has a source: something picked up on a walk, something held onto. The jewellery carries that quality with it.
