ABOUT OLIVÏE
A life in design, now made by hand
OLIVÏE is beaded gemstone jewellery shaped by colour, proportion, intuition and energy,
bringing almost two decades of design experience into something much more tactile.
THE DESIGNER + MAKER
Hi, I’m Lisi.
I’ve spent almost two decades working in product design, obsessing over colour, proportion, detail and the tiny things that change how something feels.
A few years into motherhood, I found myself craving something more tangible — something I could make with my hands, follow my instincts with, and see come to life in front of me.
That became OLIVÏE.
INSPIRED BY MY DAUGHTERS
Olive + Vivi = OLIVÏE
OLIVÏE takes its name from my daughters, Olive and Vivi. Olive brought me back to the joy of making with my hands; Vivi gave me the push to finally begin something of my own.
They’re half-French too, and a little of that side of our family has found its way into OLIVÏE — a touch of Parisian polish, unexpected combinations, and jewellery that feels current yet unique and timeless.
A LIFE IN DESIGN
Different medium. Same instinct.
Product design taught me to notice the things that can completely change how something feels — proportion, rhythm, contrast, detail, and knowing when to stop.
I grew up around making too. My dad was a Swiss ornamental blacksmith, so materials, craft and the hand of the maker were part of my world long before I had words for any of it.
OLIVÏE sits somewhere between the two — the way I’ve always designed, and the joy of making something tangible with my hands.
THE OLIVÏE WAY
Composed, not assembled.
Every OLIVÏE begins with the stones.
I work intuitively, balancing colour, pattern, proportion and energy until the composition feels harmonious — considered, but never too expected.
Natural gemstones bring their own markings, shifts in colour and little surprises, and I let those differences become part of the design rather than trying to make every stone match perfectly.
When you choose a design, I select the gemstones all over again for yours. The composition remains, while the natural variations make the necklace its own.
Same design. Never exactly the same necklace.
