Mothmade Jewels
Lily’s handmade jewellery designs are characterised by a playfulness, and are often organic, flowing forms with minuscule sculptural details in the metal, set with a variety of gemstones. The Primary design inspiration for the “Mothmaker” is te taiao. From the lush mossy hills of Mount Somers, to the water-eroded rock faces of the Catlins, to the sharp mountains of Arthur’s Pass, and foamy, kelp-filled waves in Wainui harbour. Occasionally these flowing styles are met with a flare of brutalism which she attributes to finding charming moments in the urban, grey, concrete heavy, city she calls home.
