Biography

In exquisite fine jewellery, Cece draws on motifs of nature and imagination, shifting between earthly and ethereal.

Crafting a design language both tangible and otherworldly, Cece’s hand-enamelled jewellery moves the eye and heart. Inspired by the storytelling and styling of old-school tattoos, Cece tells stories on a golden canvas. Drawing on mythology and symbolism, each design creates and reflects meaning for its wearer.

Through bespoke jewellery, Cece crafts personal mythology in gold and enamel, narrating intimate tales of love and remembrance, celebration and reflection.

Cece’s Work
Journey & Inspiration
From a young age, Cece’s love of storytelling found its way into her jewellery. She recalls:
Growing up in Dartmoor, the folklore and fairytales of our wild English moorland surrounded me. I was lulled to sleep by the tall tales of my deep-sea diver father, tracing the outlines of his tattoos and his stories beneath the waves.
She also reflects on the sources of her inspiration:
Studying History of Art at the University of Exeter, I discovered the allure of the stories behind art. Later, my mother and I would walk the corridors of the V&A together, discovering all of its beauty and wonder. On one such visit, I found a Renaissance gold band, crafted in France and enamelled with pink-and-white flowers. Engraved with declarations of love, the fusion of beauty and meaning took my breath away. Inspiration bloomed, and a new chapter had begun.
At BAJ, Cece honed her jewellery design skills and discovered the magic of making:

At the end of a day’s making, gold has become jewellery, and a story has come to life.

Vision
As reported by The Times, Cece is now focused on expanding Cece Jewellery internationally while staying true to her British heritage. Everything is made in the UK; we want to keep it that way. I think it is beautiful, and it is heritage, but it also means that we have control over each stage of the making process.
