The Maker Behind Lost Kiwi
The story of every handmade piece begins somewhere.
Mine began long before I ever carved wood or switched on a laser cutter. It began with collecting little treasures, filling sketchbooks with ideas, and a childhood spent looking toward the sea.
I'm Natalie, the maker behind Lost Kiwi.
Every piece you find here has travelled from my sketchbook to my workbench, brought to life by my own hands. I don't simply want to make jewellery, I want to create keepsakes. The kind of piece that's gifted with joy, carried through hardship, and quietly accompanies someone on their own adventures through life.
One of my earliest memories takes me back to New Zealand. As a young pup, I visited one of my mum's students. She heard that I loved dolphins and, before we left, gifted me a small dolphin pendant carved from whale bone. I don't remember her face, and I couldn't tell you her name, but I remember how that little pendant made me feel. It became my greatest treasure, and to this day it reminds me that jewellery isn't precious because of what it's made from, but because of the memories we attach to it.
That memory has quietly shaped everything I create.
I believe the most meaningful things are made slowly. They're shaped by curious hands, countless little decisions, and the willingness to begin again until something feels just right. Every piece that leaves my studio carries a little of that journey with it.
I'm so glad our paths have crossed.

Yet another wonderful Lost Kiwi Designs creation. I absolutely love it and not just because I am a cat person. What's not to love? The design is great, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and the final result is simply gorgeous. Thank you!
Nat is super helpful and lovely and I have been really happy with my orders.
When I first saw this little cats face i immediately recognized that look! Iv seen it a million times in my own cats eyes, he wants to push that pot off. To my delight that's exactly what he does.I work in a large vet hospital , lots of people were drawn to him and i had very many comments!! Then shear joy when he pushes it off. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you !!!
