Chinese Culture |
|
Culture encompasses art, literature, value systems, traditions, beliefs,
social norms and lifestyles. While many cultures in the world differ
in many ways, the essences are basically the same – people want happiness
and well-being; and people want to communicate with each other.
With thousands of year’s history, Chinese culture is widely regarded
as the most well-preserved ancient culture in the world. Along with
the rapid economic development and western influence, this ancient
culture has evolved into its 21st century formation – ancient, modern,
and fascinating.
A perfect example is wedding. Young generation in China have adopted
modern rituals and have incorporated many Western elements into
this very important event in their life. Modern Chinese brides usually
choose Western white wedding gowns for some of their wedding photos,
even though traditionally in many parts of China, white was the
color for unhappy events. Of course, they also like to wear Qipao,
a type of modernized traditional Chinese dress, especially at wedding
banquet.
Propelled by the rapid growth of wealth and empowered by the new
Internet media, creativity seems to have been unleashed in every
level of the very dynamic social-economic structure, perhaps to
some extent a strong revenge to the Culture Revolution (1966-1976)
when there was no style. You can feel the evolution from the evolvement
of our jewelry styles, month by month, in our new arrivals.

Orilily Design |
|
Orilily designs select the timeless themes from ancient Chinese
culture. Themes such as happiness, health, fortune, and well-being
are among our favorites – our good wishes for you. By the way, you
may have heard some ancient Chinese superstitions; you can be rest
assured that Orilily only incorporates the good things in our design
and production. On the other hand, many of the superstitions have
been either forgotten or have been modified to support the modern
lifestyles and international tastes.
Many of Orilily designs also incorporate the concept of harmony
– harmony in nature, harmony between human beings and our environment,
harmony in our families, and harmony in our society. Ancient Chinese
believe that harmony is the source of well-being. At the same time,
Chinese culture also recognizes that harmony is achieved when different
and sometimes contradicting forces work together. Same philosophy
is applied to Orilily jewelry design.

Orilily Collections |
|
Orilily collections are special designs. Each is handcrafted individually
by our experienced artists. The designs are generally more ancient
than modern, and are intended more for special collections than
for everyday jewelry.
Orilily signature motifs are widely used in Orilily Collections.
Historically, many motifs, symbols, and even some colors were kept
exclusively for the imperial families or the privileged few. Orilily
artists have simplified and modernized these motifs to delivery
the message of modern Oriental luxury.
