The Spark of a Dream
At just 17, Lise Uwamahoro crafted her first piece of jewellery. A moment that would ignite a lifelong passion. As a child, she dreamed of collecting her own diamonds. Today, through JustLise London, she transforms those dreams into reality, creating exquisite handcrafted fine jewellery.

From a career in finance working at institutions like Bank of New York Mellon, Rothschild, and NYSE ICE—to the world of high jewellery, every step has shaped her artistic vision.
