MY STORY
Kenya-born artist and jewellery designer Lorianna draws inspiration from her heritage, the ocean, and a life shaped by travel. Raised between Kenya, the UK, and Mauritius, she later studied Fashion Journalism and Marketing in London before living across Australia, Bali, and now California.
Her connection to jewellery goes beyond design — it is rooted in study, research and hands-on craft. During her time in London she wrote her university dissertation on jewellery, exploring its history, the impact of feminism on jewellery as a form of self-expression, and its place in society today. Alongside her studies she worked at Patrick Mavros in their flagship London store, a prestigious luxury jewellery house with roots in Zimbabwe and Mauritius, where she developed knowledge in fine jewellery. She also completed an internship at Bijem Jewellery in Mauritius, delving further into the art of metal smithing and the technical craft of jewellery making.
Her work is defined by raw, organic forms that echo the spirit of wild landscapes and untamed coastlines. Deeply influenced by her upbringing in Africa, each piece reflects a connection to place, culture, and nature, carried through texture and form. A passionate surfer, Lorianna also draws inspiration from the ocean and the rhythm of coastal living. When she is not creating or chasing waves, she works as an agency-signed model.
Each piece is handmade using the ancient technique of lost wax casting. All metals are responsibly sourced and finished with care, and every piece is presented in no-plastic, environmentally conscious packaging.
