Orilily Style

Orilily fine jewelry incorporates modern style into traditional fine jewelry, an innovative approach to let you have the quality of traditional fine jewelry and the style of modern fashion. Our designs are rooted in ancient Chinese culture and are interpreted with modern Western sensibility.

 

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 Fine Jewelry


The brand name Orilily is derived from “Oriental, Original, and Lily”, signifying our Oriental root, our consistent pursuing of originality and creativity, and our appreciation of beauty.

Orilily jewelries are made by traditional fine jewelry standard, from selecting the fine materials to applying the complex manufacturing techniques, every detail is carefully attended and every piece is honestly constructed. We understand that you have highly refined taste and we work hard to meet your high standard and expectation.


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.
