it's our personal touch.

2 Students, 1 Dream

Founded by 2 university grads who grew up volunteering and sharing the love of the arts with their communities, lilibrooklyn turns art appreciation into wearable, personal experiences and hopes to make lasting impacts on the communities they serve. We thread and design each bracelet by hand in our Brooklyn studio.

you deserve the best.

Make a statement with each bead.

At lilibrooklyn, every bracelet begins with a single intention—礼 and 粒 (lili), meaning “gift” and “bead.” We believe that to give a bead is to give a blessing, a whisper of art and care that becomes part of your story. That’s why our philosophy is: Make every bead count. Here, luxury does not come from mass production, but from purpose, patience, and the honor of true craftsmanship.

We think of everything, so you don't have to.

What does "lilibrooklyn" stand for?

We work directly with Jingdezhen’s master artisans to ethically source the world’s finest ceramic beads, and then handcraft each bracelet right here in Brooklyn, New York—our beloved home. Every lilibrooklyn bracelet is a true collaboration: centuries-old porcelain artistry brought to life through modern design, intention, and care in our Brooklyn studio. This partnership ensures every piece is not only an authentic expression of heritage, but also a distinct reflection of our city’s spirit and creativity.

Wearing lilibrooklyn is more than a statement—it’s an act of reverence for heritage, for art, and for the gift of giving. As each bracelet is assembled with care and intention, it honors the spirit of 礼 粒 and ensures that every bead, every story, truly matters. Here, your story is handcrafted, bead by bead, and given as a gift to the future.

What is your jewelry made of?

Each piece is lovingly created bead by bead, using only the world’s finest handcrafted ceramics from Jingdezhen—the legendary Porcelain Capital of China. For over a thousand years, Jingdezhen’s master artisans have shaped porcelain for emperors and dreamers alike, their work admired for its luminous beauty, delicate artistry, and timeless resilience. From the hands of these artisans to yours, every lilibrooklyn bracelet carries centuries of tradition—each bead a singular masterpiece, no two ever truly alike.

How can I tell if ceramic beads are real?

Each genuine ceramic bead bears the quiet signatures of the earth and fire that formed it. The glaze gleams with a natural luster, its tiny openings reveal the untouched color of clay, and its weight rests solidly in the palm—far denser than any imitation. Listen closely, and when beads meet, they ring with a crisp, enduring note. Look closer, and you may find small irregularities in the glaze, traces of the artisan’s hand that no plastic could ever mimic. Some even hold the ancient beauty of crackle glaze, a pattern born of fire and chance, impossible to counterfeit. In these details lies the truth of ceramic: imperfect, radiant, and unmistakably alive.

What bracelet size (6mm vs. 8mm) is right for me?

6mm beads are ideal for bracelets and necklaces that offer a balanced look—suitable for everyday wear and pieces that are noticeable without being bold or heavy. 8mm beads create a more dramatic effect, making them perfect for statement jewelry, less delicate bracelets and necklaces, and for anyone preferring a chunkier style.

6mm Bead Features

  • Versatile size for classic bracelets and necklaces.
  • Comfortable for all-day wear, subtle and not overwhelming.
  • Works well for smaller wrists and understated looks.
  • Popular for gemstone beads where weight and comfort are important.

8mm Bead Uses

  • Bolder bracelet designs and eye-catching necklaces.
  • Suitable for statement pieces without being overly bulky.
  • Preferred for medium-to-large wrists or chunkier, modern styles.
  • Offers a substantial, fashionable look while still comfortable.

Why doesn't my bracelet look exactly the same?

Please note that due to studio lighting and the artisan, handcrafted nature of our ceramics, slight color variations may occur from the product images. Each piece is uniquely glazed and fired, making every bracelet one-of-a-kind with its own subtle differences in tone and texture. These natural variations are a testament to the craftsmanship and authenticity of our work, ensuring that the jewelry you receive is truly special and unique.

The number of beads in a bracelet also varies depending on the selected size and bead diameter. This variation ensures a comfortable and proportional fit for different wrist sizes and bead dimensions.

How do I care for the product?

Ceramic bracelets are strong, beautiful, and made to last—but like any treasure, they deserve thoughtful care. Ceramics can crack or break if dropped onto a hard surface, so please handle your bracelet gently and avoid dropping or knocking it against hard objects. Our cords, crafted from natural materials for comfort, can be vulnerable to sharp objects and excess moisture—just like any fine corded jewelry.

Wear your lilibrooklyn bracelet with love, take it off before swimming or bathing, and keep it away from harsh chemicals for lifelong brilliance.
