Hi, I’m Lydia.

I design jewelry to be worn daily—minimal, timeless, and inspired by both nature and architecture.

I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, where creativity has always been part of my life. From making silk flowers as a child to painting murals and beading jewelry, I’ve always had a deep love for creating with my hands.

My fascination with transforming abstract ideas into tangible spaces led me into careers in architecture, interior design, and set design. Later, life took an unexpected turn when my oldest son was diagnosed with a rare disease. Caring for my family meant reinventing myself, and that journey ultimately led me to pursue a lifelong dream: metalsmithing. The moment I began shaping metal into jewelry, I was hooked.

All of my jewelry is handcrafted in my home studio from silver, semi-precious stones, and recycled metals, using both traditional and modern techniques. My vision is to create simple pieces with clean lines and refined minimalism. In my design process, I often subtract elements until the essence of the piece is revealed—an approach guided by the belief that less is more, until more is no longer needed.

Lydia Tucci Jewelry is handcrafted in small batches, with most designs being limited edition or one-of-a-kind. Each piece is created with intention and refined detail, striking a balance between minimalism and boldness—wearable art for every day.
