Lia Lam unveils debut jewellery collections

A fascination with 20th century modernist and conceptual influences that range from the capsulising of stoic philosophy to Scandinavian values, her work manifests through ample but understated use of symmetry, sleek silhouette and negative space.

Geometric and artful shapes form the basis of many of Lia’s creations. The pieces - all painstakingly handmade are contemporary in style, architectural in perspective and deceptively minimalist.

Lia Lam creates jewellery with a modern vision. Each creation is charged with emotional strength, designed to evoke the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary life. These spectacular jewels reveal an audacious, fearless creativity, and barrier-breaking irreverent explorations of materials and craftsmanship. For Lam, being different is a strength and not a weakness. This defiant ideology is reflected in her ergonomic clean-lined designs.

The architectural silhouettes and graphic shapes that run through Lia Lam’s jewellery collections are punctuated with gleaming diamonds and gemstones.

An avid dancer, Lia explains “I understood the execution of the cleanest, most ‘minimalistic’ dance move often requires maximal efforts behind the stage.”

A philosophy, a concept or unique story is at the base of very collection. In a climate of polarizing politics and divided communities, Lia seeks to present ideas of togetherness and synchronicity in her jewellery – like a dance made manifest in precious metals - so thatbalance can be found in art, even if it is absent in life.

Lia Lam is committed to navigating a path of sustainability and ethicality with honest intentions. Every creation is designed by Lia herself and expertly handcrafted by highly-skilled artisans in London. Lia’s pieces are made with 18k gold, platinum and set with carefully chosen, responsibly sourced diamonds and gemstones of exquisite quality.

Lia’s fine jewellery collections and bespoke creations can be found on her website for purchase. Her work can be viewed at her by-appointment space in London.

LIA LAM is an eponymous fine jewellery brand based in London. Following a fulfilling career in law and technology, Founder and Creative Director Lia Lam forged her own path as a jewellery artist after completing design and bench trainings in Europe and the UK.

A fascination with 20th century modernist and conceptual influences that range from the capsulising of stoic philosophy to Scandinavian values, her work manifests through ample but understated use of symmetry, sleek lines and negative space.

Drawing on her love for dance and photography, Lia understands intimately the power of subtlety and subtraction. The poise and tension of a well-executed dance move can be felt in each design. Behind the ease and grace of a dancer is a sharp focus, the smallest move deliberate. Her jewellery designs are equally intentional, communicating evocative stories of our time in the simplest and most poetic form.

The spirit of her work lies in reducing complex concepts to their very essence. Because Lia believes in that essence, is its power.

Precision and innovation are the dual hallmarks of Lia’s fine jewellery. Her jewellery are made with 18k gold, platinum and set with traceable gemstones and diamonds of exquisite quality.

Recently, the brand has been selected for the Spotlighting exhibition at the Goldsmiths Centre in March 2023, which will showcase Lia’s debut collection. Lia is also a Gold Member of the Goldsmiths Centre.

The Beam Collection is an ongoing series of one-of-a-kind editions. The collection showcases Lia’s attempt to break the mould of fine jewellery. Seductively subversive, Lia shines a new and artistic light on traditional silhouettes or a design concept, that play with symmetry and form. Rule breaking innovation and fearless creativity underpin this collection.

Lia steers clear of conventional clichés with designs that are deeply thought-provoking, irreverent and imaginative. With a firm belief that jewellery carries precious moments in time, the editions offer contemporary designs for those looking to mark milestones with a compelling story.

The first Edition in the Beam collection is the 100% ring. Lia reinvents the romantically-inclined Moi et Toi ring with a characteristically modern flourish. Reimagining this classic symbol of commitment and love, Lia poses the question - how would it feel to commit completely to your dreams?

In this strikingly architectural ring, polished 18k gold or platinum is set with two glittering diamonds or gemstones of your choice, creating a luxurious percentage sign. On your finger, this graphic symbol makes a bold and unmistakable statement.

Behind the playful and witty motif is a deeper message. Whatever your unique passions and intentions, the one-of-a-kind ring is a reminder to pursue your dreams with the whole of your heart.
