“Handmade unique silver jewellery created by Louise”
My name is Louise and I'm an independent jewellery designer and maker from Market Bosworth in Leicestershire.
I have worked hard to develop my skills and I strive to work to the highest standard. I am proud to have been placed in the top three for one of my pieces in an international competition held in Tokyo, Japan, in December 2024 involving more than 340 entries from around the globe. I have also had three pieces displayed at the International Silver Accessories Exhibition in Tokyo.
I have now been making, designing and teaching jewellery making courses for over 10 years. My jewellery style is contemporary combining modern and traditional techniques to make various styles of jewellery, however my style is primarily focused on nature and life. Due to the inclusiveness and beauty of nature, my jewellery is suitable for all ages, however I make customised designs to meet specific requirements.
Since I was young I have always had a passion for art and design which led me to begin learning the art of jewellery making. I am a senior metal clay instructor and glass teacher having developed my skill through many courses. I have a higher diploma in silver clay and teach at several schools of jewellery as well as teaching from my home studio in Market Bosworth.
When I first began making jewellery my focus was on finger and footprint imprint jewellery. I have five children and am very maternal, so capturing such special memories between parent and child means a lot to me. As I started to expand my jewellery range, I started to focus on nature, making many pieces from real leaves. This was a natural progression from imprint jewellery as it was a similar concept of capturing an imprint. I loved the intricate detail that could be captured so beautifully in silver.
As my skills have grown, I have branched out and started to create more varied collections, however nature is always the central theme. My pieces have been made by me in my home studio in Market Bosworth. My studio overlooks fields and trees, which influence my designs and some of my jewellery is even made with leaves from right outside my studio.
My jewellery resonates with people interested in natural beauty, who are looking for something different to the commercialised, mass produced high street jewellery.I hope to provide you with some of my pieces in the future or even see you on one of my courses where I can pass on some of my knowledge and skills so you can design and make your own unique jewellery.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my children, including four grandchildren, my labrador, my guide dog mum golden retriever and my cat. I also love reading and travelling.
