The Founders of Mazarin
A Duo United by Gems and History
Founded by gemologists and jewellery historians Louise and Keagan, MAZARIN is a contemporary fine jewellery Maison shaped by a deep respect for heritage, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Their creations feel timeless yet distinctly modern — jewels designed not just to be worn, but to be lived with and passed on.
“We felt a strong desire to create rather than only preserve,” they explain. That desire became MAZARIN: a brand devoted to transforming historical references and exceptional natural gemstones into refined, modern heirlooms.
A Unique Approach
Where Gemology Meets History
Louise and Keagan’s story began in the world of prestigious jewellery auctions, where they worked closely together curating and conducting exceptional sales. Immersed daily in rare gemstones and historic jewels, they developed a shared vision: to create jewellery that honoured the past while speaking to the present.
Their background as trained gemologists and jewellery historians gives MAZARIN a distinctive perspective. Each piece is informed by technical precision, artistic heritage, and a profound understanding of natural diamonds and fine gemstones.
“Unlike most jewellery houses, we approach creation through the lens of both gemology and art history,” they note. “Every jewel tells a story.”
The Design DNA
The Elephant: MAZARIN’s Totem
At the heart of MAZARIN’s identity stands the elephant, a powerful symbol chosen as the Maison’s emblem. Majestic yet gentle, strong yet delicate, the elephant embodies the subtle balance that defines MAZARIN’s creations.
A marvel of the wild, the elephant has fascinated humanity for centuries. Its graceful movements, sculptural curves, and the refined fragility of its tusks reflect an instinctive, timeless beauty — one that resonates deeply with the founders’ vision.
The elephant is more than a symbol; it is a guiding presence, inspiring designs that celebrate strength, memory, and enduring elegance.
"Clients often tell us that wearing Mazarin feels like carrying a piece of history reimagined for today." - Louise and Keagan
Craftsmanship and Responsibility
Jewellery with Purpose
MAZARIN’s commitment to responsibility extends beyond craftsmanship. The Maison donates 10% of sales from the Lucky Elephant collection to the Big Life Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting over 160,000 hectares of wilderness in East Africa.
Working alongside local communities, the foundation plays a vital role in preserving ecosystems and wildlife — a cause that reflects MAZARIN’s respect for nature and its belief that beauty and responsibility must coexist.
