A small polished sterling silver pebble, hand-finished and set on a sterling silver post — the kind of stud that earns its place by being worn every day.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, each pebble is hand-carved in wax before being cast in sterling silver and hand-finished to a smooth, reflective surface. Its rounded, slightly irregular form sits flat against the ear — simple, considered, and quietly present.

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.
