A wide oxidised sterling silver band, its surface pierced and textured in an open, organic pattern that echoes the lacework of coral or sea foam.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, the band is hand-carved in wax before being cast in sterling silver, hand-finished, and oxidised to a dark antique tone. The open lattice structure gives the ring its lightness — substantial in width but not in weight, it sits confidently on the finger without overwhelming it. A piece that wears as a statement and lives as an everyday ring.

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.
