Themed Collections
BEE
It is the “Year of the Bee” at llyn strong fine art jewelry in Greenville, S.C. Different themes have appeared in the custom work created at llyn strong over the years: from butterflies (representing change and transformation), mermaids based on a trip to the Amalfi Coast of Italy, ammonites and spirals (depicting eternity and life cycles) to angels in honor of Nana (llyn’s mother and Sydney’s grandmother). Bees became a point of interest for 2023, not only because of their beauty as a symbol for community, but also because of their impact on humanity as a whole.
BUTTERFLY
If you find yourself drawn to butterflies, if they touch your life in some special way, why not honor that extraordinary feeling with a piece of fine art jewelry from llyn strong. To celebrate her own professional growth and the move from downtown on Main to Midtown on Washington, she’s created a kaleidoscope of butterflies (yes, that is the collective noun!) in the form of earrings––studs and jackets––rings, clasps, and pendants for you to celebrate your own transformational journey. From simple yellow and rose gold creatures to butterflies with bejeweled wings, you might just find the butterfly of your dreams.
MERMAID
After a trip to Positano, Italy, llyn was inspired to create a collection reflective of mermaids.
KLIMT
llyn’s favorite artist and constant source of inspiration is Gustav Klimt. Klimt was the son of a goldsmith and is known for using pattern and color in his gorgeous multilayer paintings.
Ammonite (Spiral)
Spirals are infinite and naturally occurring throughout the world. A great example of nature’s beauty and reoccurring spirals is the ammonite. llyn borrows the shape of these fossils to create the jewelry in her new Ammonite Collection.
Moth
As humans we are grounded beings, attracted to and envious of winged creatures’ freedom to take to the skies. llyn’s Moth Collection focuses on the intricacy and beauty of moths and their wings. These pieces free the wearer to let her self expression soar!
Angel
llyn’s mother, Alice, collected angels all her life and is the inspiration behind llyn’s angel collection. When worn and admired, such celestial works of art connect us to our own personal angels.
Unbreakable Heart
llyn finds a heart in each piece of iron and combines it with precious metals and gemstones to create the jewelry in her Unbreakable Hearts Collection. Everyone has had their heart broken and everyone deserves an Unbreakable Heart.
