Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry



Reaching back through centuries, jewelry designer Lois Hill's inspiration dwells in civilizations gone by. Crossing the boundaries of time and culture, her signature is unearthing the past while infusing the contemporary - creating a look that is truly timeless. Her look is distinctive and unequaled in craftsmanship and intricacy. With a clear vision of reviving lost arts and melding cultures, her quest takes her from the depths of the Amazon to the peaks of Bhutan and Tibet.

Luxurious pearls and Mother-of-Pearl echo Hill's design aesthetic. Freshwater pearls ranging from classic white to trendy denim blue are coupled with intricate beads of her signature granulation and hand carving. She also explores semiprecious gemstones - the vibrant colors of South Sea Blue, Lemon Yellow, and Smoky Champagne glimmer in her signature techniques.

Lois Hill's latest journey unearthed the amazing technique of Kuftgari, in which tiny cross slices made into steel are then filled with 24k gold and sterling silver that are annealed and hammered into the piece. She began with a small team of 7 artisans while researching ancient techniques, and now she is responsible for training hundreds of artisans worldwide.

Lois Hill's inspiration is derived from her great passions: exquisite arts, past civilizations, adventurous travel, cultural curiosity, and a desire to design and create. The result: an entirely unique body of work - beautiful, bold jewelry, juxtaposing the ancient and the contemporary. Hill's jewelry collection symbolizes her unwavering belief that history, precision, and beauty are both timely and timeless.

It may be the weaving of a hut in Africa or the cultural and indigenous use of jewelry that serves as her next inspiration. Influences are often subtle and blended with other places and eras. When holding a piece of her jewelry, hopefully you will see and feel this cultural richness and global inspiration.
