1 4 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Collection III Lily Gabriella’s signature collection advances the theme of eternity, expressed in a series of figure-eight knots and loops. The most superior gold appears in shades of warm rose and intense black and is worked into the deceptively simple, ultra-elegant figure-eight symbol. This representation of infinity is found entwined into slender bracelets, while rings encircle fingers and earrings that continue the theme. Fusing tradition with design, every piece conveys delicacy underscored with a strength that is symbolic of the Lily Gabriella brand. And to what does the brand’s founder attribute her success? To anyone aspiring to be a jewellery designer, Elia says that “dedication, passion and perseverance are essential, as well as being aware of your surroundings, curiosity, innovation – and the knowledge that opportunity can knock when you least expect it.” Clearly, she herself embodies all of these qualities that make a true artist. There’s no doubt that Lily Elia’s star – and that of Lily Gabriella Jewellery – is on the rise. Lovers of exquisite and innovative fine jewellery should look forward to many delightful surprises in the years to come.
