THE STORY OF THE HOUSE BOLOU, BOLETTE & BOLOU's DESIGN TEAM
Our Founder Bolette
Our journey starts with our Founder, Bolette Louise Sig Mathiasen, an unconventional, funny, free-spirited and artistic woman, raised north of Copenhagen, and at boarding school in England, surrounded by entrepreneurs, tools and horses. She stood out as the creative soul of the family, with an eagerness for adventure. That might not sound like the recipe for a successful jewellery empire – nevertheless, that's how it happened. Bolette's entrepreneurial and equestrian genes got their first kick-start at the age of 9 when her grandfather took her to watch horseraces on Sundays, and taught her how 20 Danish Kroner put as a bet on the right horse could turn into 100 Danish Kroner in an afternoon. Gambling in itself was however not of great interest to Bolette, but both the horses and the idea of running something herself had her heart from a very young age. The natural drive and a large amount of wanderlust brought Bolette to Italy where she found her love not only for the country, the language and the people, but also for jewellery, the craft tradition and the Italians' unrelenting focus on quality. This was the first step towards her long and distinguished career in the jewelery industry.
Bolette is a trained goldsmith, designer and stone setter trained in Italy, as well as a gemmologist from GIA in New York. She specializes in diamonds, colored gemstones and pearls, and has built a massive network of trusted international diamond and gemstone suppliers.
