The company has also joined the NAJ’s Created in the UK scheme, which recognises jewellers committed to British design and craftsmanship.

Founder and designer Lily Gabriella Elia launched the brand in 2015 after working in the jewellery department at Christie’s in Geneva. 

A graduate in fine arts from Brandeis University in Boston, she later qualified as a gemologist at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in New York.

Born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in Monaco, Gabriella draws on a multicultural background and a family history steeped in art and jewellery collecting. She cites her grandmother’s jewellery collection as a formative influence.

Her designs are noted for their “sculptural forms and bold use” of colour. The Spira ring, a coiled gold piece, has become her signature.

In 2019, Gabriella collaborated with Sotheby’s Diamonds on a collection that reinterpreted high jewellery in her “graphic, modernist style”.

Lily Gabriella said: “These accreditations are more than just symbols: they reaffirm our unwavering promise to craft jewellery that is as meaningful as it is beautifully made, pieces designed to be cherished for generations.”

The partnership will see a selection of Lily Gabriella’s rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants from the designer’s signature Spira, Hex and Ouh Lala collections available on Farfetch.

Spira, Lily’s inaugural collection, is inspired by her “passion” for sculpture. Conceived as a single piece of looping gold with edges that never meet, the Spira collection has evolved to include semi and full-pavé diamond and coloured gemstone editions. 

Meanwhile, Hex is Lily’s “unique” take on timeless classics, blending the elegance of Art Deco with a “modern flair”. 

Inspired by the geometric patterns and opulent style of the early 20th Century, Hex uses the principles of optical illusion to create a “captivating interplay of shapes and gemstones”. 

Lastly, the Ouh Lala collection serves as a nod to Gabriella’s French upbringing, with the stud earrings and necklaces spelling out the famous French phrase in yellow, rose, black and white gold variations.

Gabriella, founder of the eponymous brand, said “We are delighted to be expanding our e-commerce presence with Farfetch. Its audience of discerning consumers globally will complement the international nature of our London flagship clientele and allow us to reach a wider audience whilst maintaining the brand’s exclusivity.”

This stunning offering is added to the existing offering in 18kt gold with pavé set precious and semi-precious gems. Inspired by Creative Director Lily Elia’s lifelong fascination with anthropology and architecture, the curvilinear forms nod to the traditions of South America’s indigenous tribes, capturing a natural almost primeval quality. Simultaneously they are emblematic of iconic structures; evoking the works of famed architect Frank Gehry.
