Lilian von Trapp was born and raised in Berlin. She initially pursued a degree in law at Humboldt University, but after completing it, she chose not to pursue a legal career. Instead, she followed her passion for fashion and jewelry. Lilian found her true calling when she began designing her own jewelry using pieces inherited from her mother. In 2017, she founded her eponymous label, which is known for its ethical and sustainable practices. Lilian von Trapp is committed to creating sustainable and fine jewelry, so every piece of jewelry is handcrafted from recycled materials by master goldsmiths based in Berlin.
