A LEGACY OF GEMSTONES AND FAMILY
Nellou was created from a lifelong love of gemstones - not for their meanings or myths, but for something much simpler: their beauty, their colour and the quiet joy they bring.
Founded by Louise and named in honour of her daughter, Nell, the brand continues a family connection to gemstones that spans generations, reimagined with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Our Story
Louise grew up in her family’s gemstone business, surrounded by stones long before she understood what they were. Over the years, certain pieces found their way into her hands - a warm carnelian bead discovered on the warehouse floor, a misshaped malachite kept for years, a rose quartz heart that stayed beside her during a challenging chapter of life.
Not for luck. Not for healing. Just because they brought a little moment of beauty.
Nellou was shaped by that feeling - jewellery that celebrates the natural joy of gemstones, designed with thoughtfulness, simplicity and a sense of understated style.
CELEBRATING BIRTHSTONES
Birthstones sit at the heart of Nellou. They’re personal, joyful and meaningful - not in a mystical way, but in the way colour, memory and connection can be.
Our collection includes all twelve natural semi-precious birthstones, each one chosen for its character, colour and quality.
From January’s rich garnet to June’s serene moonstone or December’s vibrant turquoise, these stones bring individuality to everyday jewellery.
Crafted in sterling silver and 18ct gold-plated silver, our birthstone pieces are designed to be beautiful for gifting and wearing everyday.
This is where Nellou shines - simple, meaningful gemstone jewellery created to celebrate life’s moments with colour and joy.
