A small polished 9k gold pebble, hollow and threaded on a fine 9k gold box chain — minimal in form, considered in making.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, the pebble is hand-carved in wax before being cast in 9k gold and hand-finished to a smooth, warm surface. The chain threads directly through the pebble, allowing it to slide freely and sit close to the throat. The kind of necklace that disappears into daily wear and is missed when it isn't there.

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.
