Pearl Cap Necklace

With an organic aesthetic borne from nature's surroundings, Louise's creations express memories of childhoods spent exploring the native forest and rugged seaside in New Zealand. Louise's creative team first sketch designs on paper then carve each intricate design in wax, using age-old techniques. Items are then cast in silver or bronze using the lost wax casting technique, consequently avoiding a mass-manufactured look. The silver is oxidised for an antique finish, while the bronze is dipped in 22k gold. The item is then embellished with high-quality freshwater pearls, beads or gemstones.
