From the heart of Stellenbosch comes The Created — a South African jewellery brand that has captured the essence of effortless, everyday luxury. Known for its timeless designs and exceptional durability, The Created crafts pieces that are both beautiful and built to last. Each piece is made from stainless steel or titanium, with genuine 14K or 18K gold plating. This ensures you can sweat, swim, shower, sleep, and repeat without ever taking them off. Now, they have collaborated with Looks by Lilli to bring you the most stylish summer pieces yet.

The Story Behind the Shine

Beyond the shimmer, there’s heart. Born in a converted Stellenbosch garage filled with laughter, coffee, and faith, The Created was dreamed up by Marlise and Elzbé — two best friends with big hearts and even bigger vision. Inspired by Isaiah 64:8 — “We are the clay, You are our potter; we are all the work of Your hand” — their brand name is more than a label. It’s a reminder that we were each created on purpose.

A Summer Collaboration That Sparkles

Just in time for warmer days and golden hour everything, The Created has launched their latest collaboration: Looks by Lilli. This is a collection that celebrates modern femininity and effortless grace. It is designed for real women who live, move, and shine.

The pieces — from the Tash Necklace and Margot Earrings to the Lilli Ring, Louise Bangle, and Nina Ring — are all about understated glamour. Think radiant gold tones, delicate rings, and statement necklaces that elevate even the simplest summer outfit. Each item catches the light just so, adding that perfect final touch whether you’re in linen at the beach or silk at sunset cocktails.

“Jewellery should be lived in — not taken off. It should move with you, not against you.” — The Created Team

Durability is at the core of everything they do. Each piece is crafted from high-quality stainless steel or titanium, plated with real 14K or 18K gold, and designed to be tarnish- and waterproof. You can swim, sweat, and sparkle — without ever taking them off.

The Cherry on Top

Alongside the Looks by Lilli range, The Created has unveiled their Summer and Cherry collections — an ode to long days, golden light, and fresh confidence. Expect vibrant pieces that play with texture and tone, layering effortlessly to capture that endless-summer glow.

Whether you’re sipping iced coffee by the coast, heading to a rooftop dinner, or dancing through December nights, these pieces are the finishing touch to every summer look. They are designed for the woman who wants to feel polished without trying too hard.

Because The Created isn’t just jewellery. It’s joy, wrapped in gold.

Your Summer Must-Haves

So, if you’re curating your summer capsule, start here. The Looks by Lilli collection is more than an accessory . It’s a reminder that beauty can be both meaningful and made to last. Because, when your jewellery can keep up with your life, you’re free to focus on what really matters: living it fully.

#HelloStyles:

We paired the Tash Necklace, Nina Ring, and Louise Bracelet to create an elegant look for the Luxurious Marble Circus and again for the Jacobs Dubai Chocolate Cappuccino launch party. Both times, it was effortless and convenient to slip on each accessory that looked as if they were styled together on purpose.

From sunrise swims to evening soirées, this trio of collections is your invitation to live in the moment — while looking effortlessly put together.
