Violet has always been drawn to beauty sharpened by impermanence and the instinct to preserve what cannot last.

An innate curiosity and a need to understand runs beneath everything she makes. It is what first drew her to the sea, to history, and to the techniques of the past.

Livadia reimagines the techniques and sensibilities of the past for the present. Antique methods are brought into a modern context. The result is jewellery that feels simultaneously of another era and entirely of the moment. Pieces made to be worn now, and kept forever.

Diving and sailing from a young age altered Violet's perception entirely. Sunlight on open water and the dark mystery beneath the surface alerted a different register of attention, one that continues to inform how colour and movement translate into her designs. Moving between cities and continents through her life has left Violet with a particular instinct - to hold onto the moments that felt like home, wherever she found them. Living between London, Paris and New York gave her a deep appreciation of art, architecture and history. California became another home, instilling a love of the ocean and the natural world. Violet continues to travel in search of inspiration and techniques - seeking out the antique methods, materials, and makers that influence each collection.

For Violet, objects become most alive through evidence of use. A softened edge, a worn surface, a stone’s inclusion, are not flaws, but signs of presence. What is untouched often feels distant; what is marked feels lived. No two pieces are ever exactly alike and over time, they are shaped further by the person who wears them.

Time gives objects a history. Memory gives them meaning. Livadia creates modern talismans designed to be treasured.
