The Studio

I make every Lily Flo piece with a very clear intention —

that it will be worn often, kept for a long time, and quietly hold meaning.

That only works if the piece is made properly.

Not just beautifully — but structurally, responsibly, and honestly.

I trained in jewellery design and making in London, at the City Lit and Morley College, Central St Martins, Royal College of Art and Currently doing my MA Jewellery at the London Metropolitan University.

I believe jewellery should feel as though it has always belonged to you.

That's why I work slowly with recycled gold, wax and carefully chosen diamonds, shaping every design by hand before it's brought to life. Making is a tactile process—feeling the weight of the metal, the softness of the wax and the balance of each piece until everything feels just right.

I work exclusively in solid gold (upcycled) because it behaves properly over time.

It doesn’t wear away, it doesn’t plate off — it softens, it develops character, it stays with you.

I use upcycled gold, not as a marketing decision — but because it simply makes sense. There is already enough gold in circulation. Refining and reusing it allows me to reduce unnecessary extraction without compromising on quality.

That ethics and sustainability matters to me.

DIAMONDS

Diamonds are often talked about in terms of size or perfection. I’m more interested in how they behave — how they catch light, how they sit within a piece, how they feel when worn.

I source through trusted suppliers and agents I know personally, working with both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds

Natural diamonds carry a geological history — time, pressure, formation over millions of years. Lab-grown diamonds offer a different kind of logic — precision, accessibility, and lower environmental impact.

I don’t position one as “better.” I give space for both — depending on what matters to you.

Ethics in jewellery is often reduced to a few words —

“sustainable,” “responsible,” “ethical.”

In reality, it’s more complex than that.

For me, it comes down to:

• working with people I trust
  
• understanding where materials come from
  
• choosing recycled gold where possible
  
• offering both natural and lab-grown options transparently
  
• making pieces that are designed to last, not be replaced
  

There isn’t a perfect system.

But there is a considered one.

And I take responsibility for the choices I make within it.

Responsibility isn't something I add at the end of the process—it's woven into every decision I make.

From choosing recycled and Fairmined gold to selecting each diamond by hand, I work slowly, produce thoughtfully and design with longevity in mind. My hope is to create jewellery that feels good to wear, not only because it's beautiful, but because it's been made with care for people, materials and the world around us.
