Lily Gabriella collaborates with Banneya London on opulent jewellery collection
Published: 13 April 2017 | by Pippa Mann
Lily Gabriella's jewellery is covetable, opulent with a contemporary edge with pieces designed for the discerning woman. Born in Rio de Janeiro and currently based in London, Lily graduated from the Gemological Institute of America in 2008 and worked in the jewellery department of prestigious auction house, Christie's in Geneva.
Lily founded the unique fine jewellery brand in 2011 and the brand reflects the designer's love for art and travel, her education as a sculptor and her wide ranging artistic and global cultural inspirations.
Right from the start, Lily created a fresh and elegant collection that caught the attention of jewellery lovers worldwide, including stylish royals such as Princess Caroline of Hanover.
While working at Christie's, Lily met acclaimed jewellery designer JAR, (
Joel Arthur Rosenthal),
who urged her to pursue her lifelong dream of creating a fine jewellery
line. With such stellar endorsement, the decision to create a line of
exquisite jewels was cemented and Lily Gabriella was born.
In 2016, Lily was introduced to Banneya London, a platform for exclusive design collaborations producing fully customisable, made-to-order fine jewellery pieces and was attracted to their passion for craftsmanship, attention to detail and made-to-order model.
Collaborating on a collection quickly became the natural development of their initial meetings and their shared love of design, craftsmanship and bespoke processes and as a result, the Carambola collection was created.
Influenced by the unique natural habitat found in her native Brazil, all the pieces take on the distinct yet organic shape of a star fruit and have been hand finished by the best artisans and craftsmen in London.
Available exclusively at
www.banneya.com from March 2017, the Carambola collection comes in 18ct Yellow, Rose, White Gold and in a Black Rhodium version.
True to the Banneya London ethos it can be set with diamonds (black and white), sapphires (blue and pink) as well as emeralds. The customisation options are endless and prices start from £2,500.
Banneya London puts the customer at the centre of the creative journey and enables them to customise each piece to suit their tastes and moods.
