Do you know where your jewelry came from?
Because we think the extraordinary chain of events that brought it to you matters...
From the original gem deposit, to mining, polishing and final fabrication in our Los Angeles workshop, it's the stories behind the jewelry that make it worth wearing.
My childhood passion turned lifelong mission
After a treacherous crawl up a mountain road with a caravan of gem hunters, I rounded a bend and was confronted by an apparent impossibility: I was five years old and I was staring at an enormous, dazzling, reflective pink mountain.
It was an early lesson in just how strange and spectacular the natural world could be—and the beginning of a lifelong curiosity about what things are made of, where they come from, and how they've come to be.
Ceci Greco was founded to follow that curiosity through gemstones, metals, and the objects we make from them. Because knowing these stories makes the world feel larger, stranger, and more worthy of our reverence.

I wear mine every single day, its so cute and comfortable I never take it off! It's one of the only pieces of jewelry I can sleep with on.
I absolutely adore my Ceci Greco jewelry. I get compliments on them all the time, and they feel SO trendy and luxurious when I pair them with a nice outfit.
Love my rings!! I wear them as a stack daily. Wash my hands, shower. All of the above. They are unique pieces that make for great gifts!!
Always Solid
Our jewelry is never plated, so the material you see on the outside is exactly whats on the inside.
The Hand Leaves Traces
We fabricate by hand with hammers, files, torches, and saws, so the process remains visible in the finished piece.
Evidence The Days Passed
Solid metals change with time. Without plating to flake or rub away, the surface simply evolves, recording the life of the piece.

An ant found it first
This tiny Arizona garnet traveled an unusual path before becoming a ring in our Los Angeles workshop.
You Might Be Wondering...
Our jewelry is always made of solid metals, so there is no plating or surface treatment to rub off. However, real sterling silver tarnishes and changes over time. We consider this patina a feature rather than a flaw, but if you prefer your silver to be bright and shiny, we recommend storing it in a ziplock bag when not being worn, and polishing it regularly with a silver polishing cloth. Solid gold, on the other hand, will never tarnish or change color. It will develop a soft "patina" over the years from the scuffs and scratches it gets from regular wear and tear. Although we love this mark of the passing time, some people prefer to have their jewelry periodically re-polished to get back the bright, smooth finish it had originally. Both metals should be cleaned periodically with warm water, mild dish soap and a toothbrush.
If you don't know your ring size and you're not near our retail location, just reach out through the contact form and I'll mail you a ring sizer at no cost. Lower Waste Option: You can also find out your size at your local jeweler. Jewelers are usually happy to help since it only takes a minute (we do it here for people all the time) but its smart to call ahead and make sure they're willing.
We stand behind our signature designs for life. Our guarantee covers against defects in materials and craftsmanship, as well as damage from normal wear and tear. We'll repair or replace any covered piece. One-of-a-kind pieces, accidental damage, misuse, and loss are not covered.
Our sterling silver is nickel-free, our gold is solid 14k, and none of our jewelry is plated. Often, "hypoallergenic" jewelry is relying on a coating that can wear away to create a barrier between a base metal and your skin. While no material is guaranteed to suit every individual, solid precious metals (such as the sterling silver and 14k gold we use in our jewelry) are well tolerated by most people with sensitive skin.
At Ceci Greco our first consideration is whether we can source a gemstone in a transparent and responsible way. While the industry is improving in overall traceability and disclosure, there are still certain materials that we struggle to source in a way that meets our standards. If we don't currently carry your birthstone, it's likely because we cant source it in a way we feel good about. That being said, the industry is rapidly improving, and we may be able to source whatever you're looking for soon, so feel free to reach out through our contact form with a request and we'll see what we can do.
Yes, it does. In most contexts, when we talk about "recycling", we're talking about reducing waste, but precious metals are very rarely wasted. So what are we talking about? In this context, the recycling conversation has more to do with what we're trying to keep out of our supply chain than the reuse of waste materials. Gold and silver are highly valuable commodities, and they continue to be mined despite the recycling of already-circulating material. The difference in how we source is the focus on intentionality and traceability. We work with refiners at the leading edge of mining reform, who voluntarily impose rigorous standards intended to keep harmfully and Illegally mined metals out of our supply chain.
