WILLS shares ~ [Brilliant Gold] Lily Gabriella and "Sotheby's Diamonds" jointly present new designs

From Rembrandt and Van Gogh to Mark Rothko and Anish Kapoor, yellow has inspired the infinite creativity of art masters from ancient times to the present. In the jewelry industry, precious and rare yellow diamonds also play an important role and are highly valued by discerning people in the industry.

Jewelry is also a beautiful expression of an art form, and this series includes nine pieces of exquisite jewelry,which will be exhibited at the Hong Kong Spring Auction exhibition from March 29 to April 2, 2019.

The designer grew up in Brazil and Monaco. Her family’s interest in art and architecture cultivated her love for nature, art and architecture, which brought abundant inspiration to her future designs. The vitality and culture of London also deeply attracted Lily, and inspired her to found her own jewelry brand Lily Gabriella Fine Jewelery, which specializes in designing customized jewelry.

When Lily was young, she loved to wear the Russian aristocratic crown collected by her grandmother on her head. Although she did not know its value at the time, the grace and elegance of the crown had already buried her love for jewelry in her little heart. After growing up, she went to the United States to study for a degree in sculpture and architecture. In her mind, jewelry is a miniature sculpture, a work of art that can be carried around with her.

She worked in an international auction house and developed her professional vision in high-end jewelry appraisal and valuation; her superb skills were learned from an outstanding jewelry master. The jewelry created by Lily reflects her emphasis on magnificent colours, outstanding design and exquisite craftsmanship. It combines sculptural three-dimensional lines and contrasting colors, breaking away from the materials commonly used in ordinary jewelry, and combining top-quality gemstones and diamonds, which is both dazzling and ingenious.

Ms. Huang Linshiyun, founder and chairman of Sotheby's Diamonds, said: "Lily is like an architect of light and color. The jewelry she creates perfectly demonstrates the essence of Sotheby's Diamonds, which is to use diamonds as the core of design. Diamonds are a masterpiece of nature. Some people think that yellow is the "pink of the millennium", which shows that yellow diamonds have endless potential and extraordinary charm. Lily's design is full of strong modernity and will undoubtedly be loved by the younger generation; but most importantly. What’s more, the timeless and universal beauty of diamonds shines through in contemporary design.”

Lily Gabriella Elia said bluntly: "Diamonds are like paint on a palette, and my designs are like providing a suitable picture frame for them. Being able to incorporate so many beautiful diamonds into the design is a very rare opportunity for jewelry designers." , I am deeply honored. Each diamond has a unique personality, and I hope to highlight their characteristics and colors through distinctive materials and contrasting colored stones. I am always amazed by the ability of architects to control light. I then tried to use geometric shapes and biological forms as inspiration to capture the vitality and fire of diamonds and recreate the magical effect of the architect’s skill.”
