Louise Pringle is a renowned figure in the world of Designer Fashion Jewellery. Her impressive CV will show that she won 1st Prize in the Jewellery Category of the International Gift Fair in Scotland 2008. Louise was nominated for the Scottish Fashion Accessory Designer of The Year 2007.
Having graduated from Heriot Watt University in 2000 (Ba hons Textile design) one of Louise's most exciting designs was the piece she designed and hand crafted for her degree show. This treasure was a knitted & beaded wire neck choker and cuffs piece integrated in to the garment which she states was very couture style and she insist she will never part with it. Louise states that her bracelets and necklaces appeals to a broad female audience ranging from late teens early 20s up to and including retired ladies, who are looking for something completely different, uniquely designed and hand crafted with an emphasis on quality workmanship.
Louise spends most weekends at craft and antique fairs and auction houses sourcing individual charms and items to design and hand craft every unique bracelet and necklace in her collection. This is originally where Louise obtained her inspiration to design and hand craft Re-Invented Fashion Jewellery and she is one of the few designers who makes unique individual pieces. Almost all of Louise's Jewellery includes a "time piece" and this has become a trademark of her designs over the past number of years.
Louise's Fashion Jewellery can be seen in the most unique places such as the British Museum, Russell Square, London, Edinburgh Castle and The Royal Collection, St. James Palace, London..wonderful places for such unique pieces! Proudly Louise has managed to have one of her bracelets featured in Vogue magazine this year. She has been commissioned by Lorraine Kelly of BBC fame and Elaine C Smith to design and hand craft individual pieces for both of these famous ladies.
She lives in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, Scotland and Louise says her greatest satisfaction is the wonderful comments and feedback she gets from customers including those for whom she "creates their personal piece of Jewellery". Her love of music includes Muse and Radio Head and when she is not designing and crafting Jewellery Louise loves nothing more than a glass of good wine..preferably red...and a good night out with friends.....
