MY STORY
Lorianna is a Kenya-born artist and jewellery designer whose work is shaped by a life lived between cultures, coastlines, and continents. Raised between Kenya, the UK, and Mauritius, and later living across Australia, Bali, and California, her perspective is rooted in movement, contrast, and connection to place.
Her designs reflect the raw, untamed beauty of nature — from wild landscapes to shifting shorelines — expressed through sculptural forms and organic texture. Deeply influenced by her African heritage and a lifelong connection to the ocean, each piece carries a sense of fluidity, instinct, and quiet strength.
Her connection to jewellery extends beyond design. With a background in Fashion Journalism and Marketing, she explored jewellery as a form of identity and self-expression, with a particular focus on its relationship to feminism and culture. She further developed her understanding of fine jewellery while working with Patrick Mavros in London, and refining her technical craft through hands-on experience in Mauritius.
Each piece is handmade using the ancient technique of lost wax casting, allowing for natural variation and imperfection. Responsibly sourced materials and environmentally conscious packaging reflect a commitment to thoughtful, intentional creation.
Designed to be worn as an extension of the body, her work exists at the intersection of art, nature, and personal expression.
