The Story of Lily Blanche

The Lily Blanche journey begins on the windswept Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, where I spent my childhood holidays with my grandmother, Lily Blanche Sheridan. It was here, on the shores of a loch, across from her whitewashed croft, that I first discovered real pearls washed up on the rocks—sparking my imagination.

My grandmother, Lily Blanche, was the driving force behind my creativity and continues to inspire everything we do at the Lily Blanche studio. Many of our designs are rooted in the treasures of her jewel box.

Born in 1903, Lily Blanche lived a remarkable life, raising four children in India during the 1930s. Upon returning to Britain at the onset of World War II, her home near Portsmouth was destroyed in the Blitz. She relocated to Scotland, where she fell in love with the rugged beauty of the landscape.

Lily Blanche was a skilled creator, crafting with the precision of a professional—whether it was cooking, embroidery, knitting, or crocheting. My memories of her island home, filled with exotic keepsakes from her travels, remain a source of inspiration.

After studying archaeology at Edinburgh University, where I focused on ancient jewellery and metalwork techniques, I began to develop my own designs.

At the heart of every Lily Blanche piece are the themes of sentiment, meaning, and connection. Jewellery, for me, is a powerful link to the past—an heirloom passed through generations, filled with the stories of those who wore it before. We strive to create the heirlooms of tomorrow from the conversation pieces of today.

Each piece is handcrafted using precious metals, real gemstones, and pearls. While many pieces are made in our Stirling studio, we also collaborate with small teams of artisans in the UK and overseas for specialised techniques. These are relationships built on personal connections and trust.

At Lily Blanche, we focus on creating jewellery that tells a story. Our signature collections, including Memory Keeper Lockets and Magical Charms, often hold hidden surprises, adding a personal touch that makes each piece one-of-a-kind.

We blend vintage-inspired designs with modern innovation, incorporating cutting-edge photography and engraving technology to create timeless jewellery with a contemporary twist. But just as important as our jewellery is our commitment to offering exceptional service and forging meaningful relationships with our customers.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Be part of the inspiration behind our next collections by joining our community on Facebook. We’re excited to connect with you!

With love,
Gillian Crawford
