Meet the Designer and founder Stephie Tchamanian started Lili Claspe in 2011, when she turned a vision into reality out of her apartment in the heart of Southern California. What began as a personal desire for jewelry that aligned with her style, Stephie started hand-making pieces with an elegant edge she was looking for. An instant love for designing led her to start her own line – naming it Lili Claspe – in honor of her late sister, Lisa, who Stephie always referred to as “Lili” growing up (pronounced “Lee-Lee”). This was a way to keep Lisa’s memory alive through each piece intricately designed, and Stephie ran with it.
