About Us

Lily Frank Jewelry
Founded in 2023 by Afsaneh Taki, Lily Frank Jewelry lives somewhere between a cabinet of curiosities and a summer that refuses to end. 
The mood is sun on silver, pearls against bare skin, something extraordinary worn as second nature. Behind it lies the seaside glamour of Afsaneh’s 1980s Florida childhood and a lifetime devoted to design and collecting antiques.
Her eye has always wandered toward the exquisite, the eccentric, and the impossible to leave behind. Art Deco’s geometry and allure mingle with the Victorian era’s romance, symbolism, and appetite for ornament.
Drawing on her design experience at Carolina Herrera and Marc Jacobs, Afsaneh gives these fascinations a life beyond the cabinet, reimagining natural shells, baroque pearls, gemstones, and precious metals as jewelry with sculptural presence and a decadent spirit. 
A nautilus offers its precise spiral; a pearl, its irregularity. Polished silver catches light against luminous shell. We are drawn to forms that feel familiar across time, finding fresh expression in their proportions, unexpected pairings, and the way they are worn today. Here, jewelry is equally at ease with an undone white shirt or a wedding dress, bringing grandeur to the everyday.
Running through it all is the instinct that has always guided her collecting: sometimes, a single beautiful object can open up an entire world.

Craftsmanship & Sustainability

At Lily Frank, luxury beach jewelry begins at the workbench: a vintage shell worth studying, a setting shaped by hand to follow its curves, and an artisan who knows when the smallest adjustment makes all the difference.
Our original designs are custom made in Los Angeles, with production kept deliberately small. Vintage materials find their way into our shell and pearl jewelry wherever possible, bringing a little history and the sort of individuality we find irresistible. Behind each finished piece are equally important commitments: safe working conditions, fair pay, and respect for the artisans doing the making.
Mexico is part of our next chapter. Afsaneh’s great-grandfather was a silver operator in Barranca del Cobre, giving silver a personal place in her family’s history. We plan to extend production to Mexico in honor of that connection.
We like to imagine where a piece might go after it leaves us—from long lunches and days at the coast to a beach wedding somewhere warm. Years later, perhaps it’s borrowed by a daughter with excellent taste and very little intention of returning it.
