Higher Evolution
The two pieces are part of the Hieroglyphics of a Starchild collection. The Starchild realizes her unlimited potential and becomes a Goddess. Realizing the responsibility she has to be authentic, connected to her calling, and tap into that warrior, lover, emotional, intuitive celestial being. She realizes that the things that she interpreted as awkward were her gifts. These were the things that made her a strong being. Her laughter, walk, playfulness, dreams, visions. She moved on from the label of the Starchild to the Goddess she was born to be. These are the final pieces of the collection. I found that as I was coming to the end of the rode in regards to this collection and some things I had made my truths, I was becoming bolder with my own image and desire to shine extremely bright with the desire to spark excitement and creativity in others. At that moment, I decided to make simple pieces and allow them to fit together to bring this story to an end. The bracelet is the final story of the Starchild realizing her unlimited potential and becoming a Goddess. It is an encryption around the neck. A message of boldness, energy, unapologetic explosion of greatness. The apophylite is the reminder that our Higher Self is always surrounding us with light, available to us.

Douriean is an artist who creates experiences and evokes emotion through jewelry and bamboo sconces. Her passion is using the original purpose of jewelry to adorn people of influence and tell the story of the creators and visionaries of our era and support others in finding their creative expression.
Her studies in South Africa began the inspiration for her work and offered a new lens to life. The cultures she came in contact with gave her a hands-on approach to experience practical art that is not just for aesthetic purposes but an expression of everything that encompasses one’s life. Living with and seeing these things made to understand that art comes from within and is a natural occurrence within. This belief is a direct reflection of her work.
Along with creating, she has taught youth in New Orleans to create jewelry from the understanding that their creativity is what makes them authentic and should be celebrated.
Her desire is for the people she interacts with, whether teaching or a client, to see themselves within the art and feel the freedom she feels when she’s creating and become inspired to be creative themselves.
Douriean and her work has been featured in Essence Magazine and she has been featured as New Orleans Magazine's, 2012 People To Watch.
