Cecilia Ramos' jewelry line combines hand artistry and design sensibility to create a uniquely modern look. Trained as an architect and painter, the designer strives to create one of-a-kind pieces that are in themselves elements of high design that the owner can inhabit. To Cecilia, jewelry is not an appliqué or decoration, but a spatial element that affects both the wearer and those around her. While each piece exudes beauty and style outwards, it is also an extension of one's personal space thus affecting inner movement and feelings. Jewelry is not meant to be worn, but to be lived in.

Each piece is handcrafted and thus truly one-of-a-kind. Cecilia views the design process as an opportunity to realize innovative concepts through material exploration and tectonic experimentation. While weaving acrylic discs into a necklace or hand painting a metal cuff, the designer challenges conventional material uses integrating mechanical modernity and traditional craft. The play of rigid geometry and meandering lines, laser cut edges joined by traditional stitching, and vibrant colors against neutral surfaces are the essence of the design.

Cecilia launched her jewelry line in the summer of 2005 creating a well conceived collection that highlights her abilities in both technical and artistic design. Since then her collection has gained much recognition. Her pieces have been featured in many magazines, most recently on the cover of Cover Magazine Issue 19, and in Spanish Harper's Bazaar July 2006 edition, displayed in fashion shows in NYC, and worn by celebrities such as American Idol's Fantasia. She is represented in the showroom of Studio Dee Services, Manhattan , NY . Cecilia earned a Bachelors of Science Art and Design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is currently completing her Masters in Architecture at Princeton University .
