Our Jewellery
Who designs your jewellery?
Our founder, Lucy Lee, designs all of our charm jewellery to ensure it meets our strict design ethos of authenticity. The entire design and manufacturing process involves hand sketches 3D modelling and sampling, then once approved, wax moulding, pouring, plating and then hand finishing. Our more intricate designs with resins and mixed metals are even more involved. The process of designing and manufacturing silver jewellery is fascinating and far more complex than many think!
What is Lily Charmed jewellery made from?
All our charms are cast from recycled 925 sterling silver. We then plate in either Rhodium or 18 carat Gold. This plating ensures that our charms do not tarnish so maintain their perfect appearance while in store and for many years after with the wearer.
Where is your jewellery manufactured?
Our main manufacturing partner is located in Indonesia. We have been working with them for over 10 years and regularly visit the factory to ensure the highest standards are maintained. Other partners are based in Thailand and many of our silver and gold plated chains and bracelets come from the Arezzo region of Italy, famous for its jewellery craftsmanship.
Why recycled sterling silver?
We are all looking for ways, big and small, to help be part of the solution to climate change, and sustainability. Using recycled sterling silver silver (previously mined silver that is upcycled from old jewellery and medical equipment to name two sources) helps to limit the amount of metals that must be produced, the use of chemicals to process them, and lowers the impact on the environment. Lily Charmed has been seeking ways to take the small steps towards more sustainable and ethical production of their jewellery, a big step is using recycled sterling silver and helps minimise the need for the mining of virgin silver.
Is your jewellery hallmarked?
By law all sterling silver items over 7.8 grams must be hallmarked by the Assay Office. We hallmark all our silver that is over this weight with the Birmingham assay office. All our silver jewellery is stamped 925 in the manufacturing process.
