Learn the Who and the Why behind LOISA!
Our story…
Welcome!
My name is Lisa. By day I am a mother of 3, Nan to 4, supervisor and super women but by night
I am the Founder of LOISA with an obsession for 'Gardenscape' (a really cool game).
I come from a creative family. My Nan and Mum were wedding dress designers who collaborated together to make my wedding dress (which to this day is still as beautiful as the day I wore it 29 years ago).
I went to college and took a home interior design course which specialised in paint finishes. On leaving college I went on to co-found a successful social enterprise art group, Face 2 Face, with my dear friend.
The project was designed to use life casting and mixed media to focus the teenagers of our community about their past, present and future behaviour.
Overtime…
Through watching countless YouTube videos trying to find a creative hobby to sink my teeth into, I discovered the beauty that is handmade jewellery.
I experimented with different mediums, from polymer clay to resin and then stumbled across the magical world of beading and I was hooked.
I taught myself different techniques to master this craft #practicemakesperfect and little by little I built up my collections, and with the wonderful support and encouragement of my friends and family.
I launched Beads & Bijoux which you now know as, LOISA.
As family are at the forefront of everything I do, my launch collections are named after them.
“Creating art is what makes me happy and at peace, seeing other people wearing it brings me joy”

BTS…
Every piece is handmade by myself with love and a bucket load of concentration, in my cosy home in the heart of London, England.
My love, passion and extensive knowledge accumulated over the years has allowed me to let my inner innovator wave her creative flag.
I take inspiration from nature and abstract art to design tactile pieces of jewellery, both classical and contemporary for you.
My glamorous studio aka our family dining table, is the main operational hub for all my creativity and right beside me, typing away furiously, is my side kick, Nina.
Nina is my daughter and BFF, who doubles up as my creative director.
She has a degree in fashion management and marketing, and possesses a sharp eye for current trends.
Between the two of us, we make a formidable team.
“In every bead, every twist, and every shimmer, lies a piece of my heart, crafted just for you”
