By day, I’m a marketing professional with more than 25 years of experience and nearly two decades in the animal health industry. My world is usually filled with strategy meetings, brand development, analytics, project management, and big-picture thinking.
But LouLu Designs? That’s where I get to return to the creative spark that started it all.
What began at my grandmother’s craft table has grown into a passion project rooted in creativity, individuality, and giving new life to beautiful things. Each piece is thoughtfully curated, handcrafted, and designed to feel personal, expressive, and full of story.

✅ Apply Beauty Products First
Before putting on your jewelry, apply all cosmetics, hair products, lotions, perfumes, and powders. This prevents chemical buildup, which can cause discoloration or tarnishing over time.✅ Remove Jewelry for Certain Activities
To maintain the integrity of your jewelry, avoid wearing it while swimming, showering, sunbathing, or exercising. Water, chlorine, salt, and sweat can accelerate tarnishing and affect the finish of your jewelry.✅ Store Your Jewelry Properly
Exposure to air and humidity can lead to oxidation and dullness. When not in use, store your jewelry in a sealed bag, pouch, or jewelry box in a cool, dark place to reduce tarnishing. For extra protection, consider adding an anti-tarnish strip to your storage container.✅ Handle With Care
Jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid dropping or knocking your jewelry against hard surfaces, as this can cause scratches or wear on the plating.✅ Clean Gently When Needed
If your jewelry starts to lose its luster, you can gently clean it using a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or residue. Avoid harsh chemicals, jewelry cleaners, or polishing cloths meant for unplated metals, as they can strip away the protective coating.By following these care tips, your Loulu Designs jewelry will stay beautiful, ensuring that each piece continues to complement your unique style for years to come.

At Loulu Designs, we take pride in crafting unique, high-quality jewelry that is both stylish and durable. Our pieces are made from lead- and nickel-free metals, ensuring they are safe for sensitive skin. Most of our designs feature a brass base plated in gold or silver, offering the beauty of fine jewelry without the high price tag. Unlike standard fashion jewelry that may leave behind a green tint, Loulu Designs pieces are designed for longevity—so you can wear them with confidence.
To keep your jewelry looking its best for years to come, proper care is essential. While our pieces are made to withstand everyday wear, all metals are naturally prone to tarnishing over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and body oils. By following these simple care tips, you can preserve the beauty and shine of your Loulu Designs jewelry.
