THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ORDINARY OBJECT
Anthill Garnet 14k Stacking Ring
MADE BY HAND, MEANT TO LOOK THAT WAY
From the mandibles of an ant to your hand...
These tiny red garnets are carried to the surface by ants excavating their underground homes on Navajo land in Arizona.
They’re then gathered by hand by a member of the Navajo Nation whose family has collected these garnets for generations, beginning with a blessing of the land.
From there, each garnet is cut and polished before making its way to our Los Angeles workshop, where we set it in a solid 14k gold bezel and hand-forged band.
So, when someone says, “I love your ring,” you get to say:
“Thanks. An ant dug it up.”

What customers say
Real Jewelry owners.
I was first attracted to Ceci Greco jewelry for the intention behind the pieces; sentiments of sustainability & genuine care. I quickly realized that the craftmanship was unrivaled.
It's my favorite set of stackers because it's equally elevated and effortless.
I love that I have pieces I can genuinely feel good about purchasing, knowing that they're heirlooms for life.

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.
