A Kina cast in oxidised sterling silver, its pitted surface preserved in careful detail, holding a single freshwater pearl at its centre.

Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, the Kina charm is hand-carved in wax before being cast in sterling silver, hand-finished, and oxidised to a dark antique tone. The Kina is the traditional Māori name for a native sea urchin found in shallow waters all around New Zealand, and particularly prevalent along the Nelson Tasman coastline where Louise's jewellery is made. The triple A grade freshwater pearl sits within it quietly — a pairing that feels as much found as made.

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.
