WELCOME TO REACH OUT

LILCATELilcate is a jewelry studio working with sculptural metal forms designed for presence. The project began with a series of weight tests—small objects cast in solid brass and silver, adjusted until they held shape on the hand, the ear, the collarbone. Each form was developed through repetition, not sketching—refined by how it sat, how it pressed, and how it stayed visible without decoration. The first full piece was selected not for what it expressed, but for how it held still when worn. 

From there, a vocabulary took shape: smooth curves, controlled edges, no fasteners unless required, no polish beyond what was necessary to finish the surface. Lilcate’s ambition is to create jewelry that functions as wearable structure—objects chosen for their weight, their clarity, and their ability to mark a moment without describing it. 

Each piece is produced in limited batches and finished by hand. They are made not for display, but to be worn into spaces that matter.

Challenge

The challenge was to design jewelry that could carry weight without ornament, and stay visible without explanation. Each piece had to hold its form while worn, resist distraction, and remain steady across time and context.
