Keeping it genuine

Established 2009 in Nelson NZ, we are a small but mighty team at Louise Douglas Jewellery. We are dedicated to crafting precious objects that celebrate love, nature and connection — jewellery that you'll live in and love always. Proudly New Zealand made, we strive to build lasting relationships with suppliers, peers and you. We value and respect our community as the foundation of our future sustainability.

A passion for design

Great design is important to us. With an organic aesthetic borne from nature's surroundings, our creations express memories of childhoods spent exploring the native forest and rugged seaside. Reflecting the natural beauty of New Zealand, our keepsake pieces make perfect gifts or travel mementos.

Made with love

Our creative team first sketch designs on paper then carve each intricate design in wax, using age-old techniques. Items are then cast in silver, gold or bronze using the lost wax casting technique. This hands-on approach and small-scale production retains the integrity of our sculpture-like creations. We take pride in the high quality and hand finishing of all our pieces.

Proud to be NZ made

Every individual item of our jewellery is hand-finished in our workshop in the heart of sunny Nelson, New Zealand. Our jewellery is ethically made by people who truly love what they do. When you invest in our jewellery you get personal friendly service, while reducing your carbon footprint and supporting our national economy. That's a great choice to make!

All jewellery is sent beautifully packaged in our signature gift pouches finished with a satin ribbon bow. Care instructions included. We can also include a gift card and personal message by special request, the option is available in the check box at check out.

To lessen our carbon footprint when multiple pieces are purchased, each piece will be packaged appropriately in one box to ensure safe travels. Please let us know in the notes section at checkout if you do require more boxes.

Jewellery care and cleaning

All of our jewellery is hand-made, and so it needs to be looked after carefully. By following these instructions, your jewellery should last a lifetime.

  • Avoid contact with any water, perfume, hairspray, creams, and household chemicals.
  • Store in a protective box or pouch, and keep pieces apart so they don't rub together. Add a piece or chalk or a silica packet to absorb moisture.
  • Do not wear gold-plated or pearl jewellery to bed or on a day-to-day basis. Our plating is some of the highest quality you'll find, but all plating will wear naturally over time.
  • We recommend that each time you put on your necklace to pinch closed the handmade clasp to help keep the tension.
  • Store the jewellery separately in a protective box or pouch out of direct sunlight.

    Cleaning instructions:

    • Sterling silver — To renew its shine, rub with a soft polishing cloth. Do not use silver dips as it will clean away the blackened oxidised finish.
    • 22k gold plate — Clean gently in a mild non-abrasive dishwashing liquid diluted in water, or try a squirt of Windex on a soft, non-abrasive cloth. We do not recommend using a polish cloth, paste, or strong jewellery cleaner. Throughly dry your jewellery after any exposure to water.
    • 9k gold — Our solid gold pieces can be worn daily and do not require too much care. Clean with a soft brush and warm water. Buff with a soft polishing cloth.
