Jewellery has always been a part of Lottie Blackwell’s story. From a young age, she would watch her mother get ready for glamorous evenings, completely mesmerised by the way jewellery transformed her look. This fascination only grew as she got older, inspired by the iconic pieces worn in films like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Great Gatsby. Lottie’s love for creating jewellery is driven by the belief that each design tells its own unique story.

After a career in fashion, Lottie rediscovered her passion for jewellery design while working with a branding agency that represented renowned jewellers worldwide. This led her to study jewellery design and technology at The Gemological Institute of America in New York, where she deepened her understanding of the craft. Over the past six years, Lottie has collaborated with esteemed jewellers such as G by Glenn Spiro, Anissa Kermiche, Rachel Boston, and Eugenie Niarchos of Venyx World. More recently, she has immersed herself in Jaipur’s jewellery market, learning various techniques from master artisans in preparation for launching her first collection in late 2023.

Lottie specialises in creating organic, modern jewellery and excels at transforming old, often neglected pieces into contemporary designs that breathe new life and relevance for her clients. Her work is a reflection of her deep connection to both the past and the present, blending timeless elegance with modern sensibilities to create pieces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

Mindful of the world around us, &Lottie is dedicated to sustainable and socially responsible practices. The brand partners with Anoothi to support female artisans in rural India, preserving traditional craftsmanship and providing fair opportunities.
