About Lily

Founder • Jewellery Curator • GIA New York Graduate

For nearly three decades, jewellery has been at the heart of Lily’s life.

Lily first arrived in Sydney in 1998 and was immediately captivated by Australia’s natural beauty, multicultural spirit and relaxed lifestyle.

Although her career later took her across Thailand and other parts of Asia, Australia always remained the place she hoped to call home.

Originally planning to continue her studies in the United States, Lily instead returned to Sydney following the events of September 11, where she completed her studies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

Over the following years, she built an international career across Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, New York and Australia, specialising in natural gemstones, jewellery sourcing, manufacturing, product development and private client consultations.

Her experience also included providing product and market guidance for jewellery created for American and European markets, giving her a broad understanding of international design, craftsmanship and client expectations.

Throughout those years, Lily carried one vision—to introduce natural gemstones and thoughtfully curated jewellery to the people of Australia and to visitors from around the world.

In 2014, after years of international experience, that vision became reality with the opening of Baroque Jewellery in Sydney’s iconic Queen Victoria Building (QVB).

A Personal Approach to Jewellery

Jewellery should never be chosen simply because it is fashionable.

For Lily, every piece should reflect the person who wears it—their personality, lifestyle, achievements and life story.

Every consultation begins with listening.

Whether selecting a natural gemstone, redesigning a treasured heirloom or creating a bespoke piece, the goal is always the same:

to help clients make jewellery decisions they will continue to cherish for generations.

International Experience

For nearly 30 years, Lily has built her expertise across five international jewellery centres.

Indonesia – Gemstone sourcing & manufacturing
Thailand – International jewellery production
Hong Kong – Global gemstone trading
New York – GIA education and international gemmological expertise
Australia – Personal jewellery curation and private client consultation

Working across different cultures has taught Lily that every client has a unique story, and every piece of jewellery should be thoughtfully curated to reflect that individuality.

The Story of Baroque Jewellery

After years of international experience, Lily chose Sydney to realise her long-held vision of introducing exceptional natural gemstones and thoughtfully curated jewellery to Australia.

In 2014, she founded Baroque Jewellery in Sydney’s iconic Queen Victoria Building (QVB).

For more than 13 years, Lily has personally curated jewellery for clients from Australia and around the world.

Through personal jewellery curation, she has helped people express their individuality, celebrate life’s milestones and preserve family memories through meaningful pieces.

Many of those clients continue to return today, bringing their families and friends, and naturally becoming lifelong supporters and ambassadors of Baroque Jewellery.

Today, Baroque Jewellery continues its journey from 25 Martin Place, Sydney, where every consultation begins with trust, experience and genuine care.

Lily’s Philosophy

“The most valuable jewellery isn’t always the most expensive. It’s the piece that truly belongs to you.”

For Lily, jewellery is never simply about beauty or value.

It is about identity, relationships, memories and legacy.

Every recommendation begins with listening, because the right piece of jewellery should feel as though it has always belonged to the person wearing it.

After nearly three decades in the international jewellery industry, Lily continues to believe that the greatest compliment is not making a sale—it is seeing clients return, generation after generation, with the trust to help tell the next chapter of their story.
