Lillot, designed and created by Brazilian-born and New York-bred designer Liliam Higa, is a line of handcrafted jewelry distinguished for its compelling combination of modern structure and feminine fluidity.

Lillot jewelry has been featured at New York Magazine, Vogue Germany, Instyle, Elle, Tush, Harper's Bazaar, Refinery29, Interview Magazine among others and Liliam's work has been published at Die Gestalten Verlog’s design book “A Girl’s Best Friends: Creative Jewelry Design“.

Liliam grew up surrounded by gems and pearls in downtown São Paulo – Brazil, where her father had a wholesale store. Her passion for the visual arts lead her to attend Faculdade Santa Marcelina where she graduated in Fashion Design and right after got her a scholarship to the Shuri University of Arts in Japan where she was able to absorb the culture and crafts of her ancestry. A year later, she moved to New York City to follow a career in fashion. Started styling for a few photographers and making accessories for the photoshoots, when she finds herself involved with jewelry making. After working with Lulu Frost and slowly starting Lillot , Liliam decided to go back to her native São Paulo to learn more about the industry by joining her father’s business. Three years later in 2013, back in New York City, Lillot launches the collection Tropicalis as a homage to celebrated architect Oscar Niemeyer and lush Brazilian landscapes.
