Prairie

Prairie is an Aotearoa-owned and operated studio bringing a playful approach to Jewellery.

After stepping away from ceramics in 2018, owner Holly Houston entered a period of quiet reflection, uncertain of what would come next. In the years that followed, she devoted herself to raising her children, nurturing her garden, and centering the well-being of both herself and her community. It was during this time of uncertainty that Prairie came to Holly, a quiet nudge from the universe, guiding her toward metalwork as a new creative path. 

As she honed her skills and deepened her process, the name Prairie appeared to her in a dream. 

Holly describes her twenties as a decade spent with earth beneath her fingernails, and her thirties as a time to hold gold in her hands. The result is Prairie: a jewellery collection shaped by intuition, play, and transformation.

We’re honoured to share Holly’s work with you, a project unfolding with creativity, care, and quiet transformation. We can't wait to see where it leads.
