Cece Jewellery: Modern heirlooms infused with artistic folklore
Unearth fantastical tales and centuries of art within Cece Jewellery’s miniature treasures
Sponsored by:
For most women, the love affair with jewellery starts young. Beyond candy rings and gemstone sticker earrings, young girls are often fascinated by the pearls and diamonds in their mothers’ jewellery boxes. Once used to play dress-up, these trinkets become a personal collection of treasures with age. And while we love minimal everyday pieces, wouldn’t it be magical if you could capture the fanciful imagination of your childhood in luxury jewellery? Allow us to introduce you to Cece Fein-Hughes, who captures the magic of fairy tales and folklore in her intricate jewellery.
Delicate bows, naval motifs, and traditional sailor tattoo designs are rendered in soft pastels and enamel-painted using the ancient art of champlevé on recycled 18ct gold. Pieces are detailed with fairy tale designs and dotted with ethically-sourced pearls, diamonds, and coloured gems.
Cece draws on her expertise in art symbolism, alongside memories of her childhood in Dartmoor and the findings of her deep sea diver father. The result is a design language that blends old-school charm and whimsical magic with modern silhouettes, to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Take, for example, the Travellers Tale signet ring, in which a wild horse rears in the moonlight, surrounded by a rugged landscape inside a diamond-studded horseshoe and flanked with primrose and lavender bouquets.
Make it bespoke
Cece Jewellery handcrafts timeless pieces with painstaking attention to detail in the heart of London. Aside from the main and ready-to-wear collections, the brand also offers a bespoke service. Like getting a tattoo to memorialise a special occasion or person, these pieces make for a deeply personal heirloom. The collaborative process begins with a consultation where Cece sketches your dreams and stories on paper before painting it onto gold studded with diamonds and precious stones. Thus, your love story or family milestone is immortalised in a piece of jewellery that’ll be cherished for generations to come.
Rococo decadence
For its Rococo Ribbon collection, Cece Jewellery introduces decadent pieces inspired by the era. Taking inspiration from Rococo’s signature ornamentation, Cece tells a story of love. Signet rings and medallion pendants are adorned with the trending ‘coquette aesthetic’-approved bow motif in four variations: ballet pink and pastel blue bows are paired with arrow-pierced hearts and engraved compasses; white bows are accompanied with engraved wedding bells; and black bows speak of an eternal commitment. Each handcrafted piece is sprinkled with brilliant cut diamonds.
Made in Hatton Garden, the British brand’s jewellery is personal, ethical, and absolutely stunning. Crafted with deeply symbolic designs and the finest materials, collecting Cece Jewellery pieces is like building a miniature wearable art collection that’ll bring you more joy than most artwork framed on your walls.
