Minimalistic Jewelry - Lily Toya
We can all agree that there is something so luxurious about new jewelry…especially jewelry that is simple yet tells a story with the materials it is made with. I found Lily Toya over on Design Milk and was immediately intrigued.
Lily Toya is a jewelry brand made in Brooklyn, New York that you should know about!!
“Concrete fascinates me. The texture and the semi-roughness. Combine that with my love for simplicity and geometry, and the items that you see here were born. My inspiration is simple and a bit architectural. The monochromatic color of the concrete creates an interesting contrast in combination with metal and different textiles. The jewelry are designed and handcrafted by me - mixing the concrete, casting into 3d printed molds, using digital fabrication technology as well as traditional. Every detail in the designs reflects the working process. I like the industrial feeling that concrete adds to the designs”
When we think of concrete we tend to think of heavy but these pieces are not heavy at all! They are so lightweight making them feel so feminine and delicate!!
The first piece I want to introduce you to is the FLOAT U. This is a lightweight minimalistic necklace, combining floating concrete element, creating an unusual unique necklace. It’s made from 14k gold plated brass, concrete . And I just love how it looks over bare skin or even over a thin turtleneck! It is such a conversation starter.
The next piece I own and adore is the PENTA LARGE NECKLACE. This defines delicate and minimalistic geometry. It’s the perfect long necklace for those who find elegance in simplicity. I tend to wear dresses with a really deep V and I love how this one looks with those!! It is made from black steel and I just love the industrial look and feel of this….
The final piece I am introducing you to today is the PENTA NECKLACE. It too defines delicate and minimalistic geometry and is the perfect necklace for those who find elegance in simplicity! The shape of this one gets a lot of attention! it features black steel and 14k gold plated brass .
I just love Lily Toya….each piece is more beautiful than the next! This brand is incredibly wallet-friendly too which is just another reason I knew you needed to know about it!!! Jewelry, after all, is an art form in itself and often made by hand with expensive materials. However, Lily Toya is out here making the loveliest pieces that won't break the bank and keep you looking so refined!
I just adore the way Founder & Creative Director, Dana, approaches trends with an eye towards the classic–meaning each piece feels fresh and of-the-moment, while still remaining timeless.
These pieces make the perfect addition to any jewelry box. Don’t you agree?!
I am totally packing these along to San Francisco for my birthday trip next week so I know there will be tons more pics of these exquisite pieces in the wild!!
