Meet Lillian

A Lifelong Connection to Meaningful Adornment

Lillian’s fascination with jewellery began in childhood, influenced by the women in her family. From flea market finds to blessed pendants and vintage treasures, each piece held a profound personal story. This early understanding instilled in Lillian a deep appreciation for jewellery as more than just an accessory; it’s a vessel of memory, emotion, and personal expression. This is why every Rhapsody in Gold piece is designed to be a modern heirloom, crafted to carry your own significant stories for generations.

Unconventional vision from Central Saint Martins

Lillian’s pursuit of excellence led her to Central Saint Martins, where she honed her skills at the workbench, mastering traditional techniques like soldering, piercing, and lost wax casting. Crucially, her training fostered anunconventional vision. She learned that true jewellery artistry transcends traditional materials, experimenting with fabric and recycled bottles. This background ensures that your Rhapsody in Gold pieces are not only expertly crafted but also embody a unique, innovative design perspective that sets them apart.

A Discerning Eye for Luxury and Quality

Lillian’s professional journey further refined her expertise. Her impactful stints at renowned luxury brands like Solange Azagury-Partridge and Lara Bohinc immersed her in the world of high-end jewellery production and design. Later, as a fine jewellery buyer for Asia's leading Fashion powerhouse, she curated collections featuring brands like Repossi, Buccellati, Pomellato to designers like Lydia Courteille, Anaconda to name a few. This extensive experience means that every Rhapsody in Gold piece is born from a deep understanding of global luxury standards, exceptional materials, and sophisticated aesthetics. You can trust that your jewellery is designed with an expert eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Having mastered every facet of the industry – from hands-on creation and innovative design to discerning curation and ethical sourcing – Lillian founded Rhapsody in Gold. Her comprehensive background ensures that each piece is not just beautiful, but also thoughtfully conceived, expertly made, and imbued with genuine meaning.
