Origin
The starting point of all of our stories started millennia before us.
Through our ancestors and lineage, we have told our story through many forms of art, objects, artefacts and beauty.
Bymaialee’s designs are a remembrance and memoir of all of our history.
Sophie Maia Lee
By looking into our past we can see our future. Sophie Maia Lee designs contemporary fine jewellery for men and women.
Sophie began making jewellery shortly after finishing her studies in Archaeology and Anthropology.
Her fascination with folk tale and lore inspired her to recreate parts of our history through timeless pieces designed to be worn and remain in generations to wear and cherish.
To Sophie, each piece is a treasure. They tell a unique story, and hopes others admire the mysticism and allegory behind each design.
Bamboo personifies the life of simplicity. Bamboo is used in every phase of Chinese living, yet it needs very little care to grow and flourish. It produces neither flowers not fruit, and the hollow trunk reminds us of humility, with an open heart free of arrogance.
Bamboo is a symbol of longevity because of its durability, strength, flexibility and resilience. It survives the harshest conditions, standing tall and staying green all year around. When the storm comes, bamboo bends with the wind. When the storm ceases, it resumes its upright position. It copes with extreme adversity, yet still stands with immense strength.
Its flexibility and adaptability are a lesson to us all that the secret of a long happy life is to go with the flow.
