Diane C. Rougelot1401 Maple Street Westwego, La. 70094
I was born in New Orleans, and raised in Metairie, La. After finishing nursing school and getting married I moved to Mobile, Alabama where I had my first 2 children. I returned to live on the west bank of New Orleans and had my last 2 children. As a girl scout leader for 15 years, I became interested in the creative arts. I began making jewelry and sold pieces as fund-raisers for my girl scout troop. Starting with glass beads, I ventured into semi-precious gems and sterling silver, copper, gold-filled findings, pearls, bone, shell, and Swarovski crystals. Although self-taught, I have explored making necklaces, bracelets, rings, lariats, headbands, eye-glass holders, cake pulls, ornaments, and brooches. I have exhibited/sold my jewelry at Gonzales Art Gumbo Market, Canton Festival in Mississippi, Gretna Art Walk, and various other local craft shows in the Southeast La area. I have made the jewelry for many weddings and enjoy filling custom orders and repairing jewelry. I have sold my jewelry at the River Region Art Gallery in Gonzales, My Sister’s Closet in Kenner and Letters & Gifts in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It is very fulfilling when customers look for my work and challenge me with new designs. The inspirations of others, young and old alike, keeps my interest in jewelry-making alive and fresh. Examples of Diane Rougelot art.
