I was born in Perm, Russia in 1978 - a city near the Ural Mountains, with spectacular landscapes and amazing wildlife. As a child, I was always interested in anything creative, whether it was making clothes for dollies, making bead rings

for my friends or collecting pretty buttons. I enjoyed rummaging through my mother's jewelry box, looking at all the necklaces and different types of stones. I met my husband whilst studying for my degree in the UK, and moved here permanently in 1999. I now live on the edge of the Cotswolds, in north Wiltshire, and have two daughters. I am a self-taught jewelry designer. At first it was just a fun past time, however more and more people expressed an interest in my designs and enquired as to whether I could make something for them. This was the birth of Lilia N. Designs! I am constantly researching new techniques and trends in jewelry design and fashion, to ensure my designs remain unique and stylish for you to wear!
