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.
The world is strange. We make jewelry about it.
Always solid
Our jewelry is never plated, so the material you see on the outside is exactly whats on the inside. While plated metals have their place, we feel an attraction to the simplicity and consistency of solid metals. They wear beautifully and never need to be re-plated or abandoned altogether because they're simply not worth refurbishing.
The hand leaves traces
While CNC machines and 3D printers are best for achieving efficient detail and uniformity, we have a different goal In mind. We want the process to remain visible in the object itself. To that end, our jewelry is hand fabricated with hammers and files and torches and saws in our workshop in Los Angeles.
Evidence the days passed
Solid sterling silver tarnishes and changes over time. We see this as a feature rather than a flaw, and we relish the slow developing of patina that marks the passing of time. Solid 14k gold is naturally tarnish resistant and because there is no plating to rub off, it ages gracefully, developing a subtle patina without flaking or losing its color.
