A LEGACY OF GEMSTONES AND FAMILY
Welcome to Nellou, a family-run jewellery brand that brings together generations of gemstone expertise with a love for timeless design. Founded by Louise and named in honour of her daughter, Nell, Nellou is a tribute to a legacy of craftsmanship and a commitment to bringing beauty and joy to everyday life.
Louise’s journey with gemstones began in her family’s gemstone business, which instilled a lifelong appreciation for the natural beauty of stones. But her path took on a new dimension when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Having grown up around gemstones, she was initially sceptical about their supposed healing properties. However, she found that their beauty radiated a sense of positivity and joy that inspired her through difficult times. She envisioned jewellery that could share this feeling—not necessarily with a focus on healing or spirituality, but as a source of everyday upliftment and joy.
Celebrating Birthstones for Everyday Wear
At Nellou, we specialise in birthstone jewellery collections designed to celebrate personal connections to each month’s gemstone. We believe that birthstones add a meaningful touch to daily style, allowing you to carry a piece that resonates with your story. Our everyday birthstone collection is crafted in sterling silver and 18ct goldplated silver, ensuring that each piece is beautiful, versatile, and suitable for all occasions. From January’s garnet to December’s turquoise, our designs reflect the rich colours and unique charm of each birthstone, offering you jewellery that’s both personal and timeless.
TREND-INSPIRED STERLING SILVER DESIGNS TO MIX AND MATCH
In addition to our gemstone collections, we offer trend-inspired designs in sterling silver that are crafted to be mixed and matched with your gemstone jewellery. These pieces are designed to bring a modern edge to classic styles, allowing you to effortlessly curate your own unique look. With versatile designs that layer and complement our gemstone pieces, Nellou makes it easy to create a collection that’s distinctly yours.
ECO-CONSCIOUS CHOICES FOR A LASTING IMPACT
Sustainability is a core value at Nellou, and we are committed to using recycled silver where it is readily available in the market, minimising air miles and reducing environmental impact. We take a thoughtful approach, avoiding the greenwashing that’s prevalent in today’s jewellery market, to ensure that our eco-conscious choices are genuinely responsible and impactful. Our dedication to sustainability means you can wear Nellou jewellery knowing it reflects both your style and your values.
