The Back Story

 

 

Cleo launched her first collection in 2016 in Manhattan, New York. She continued to create in a jewelry studio co-op in Williamsburg Brooklyn until 2021. After living in NYC for 8 years, Cleo decided to move to Portland, Maine in 2021.

Cleo is currently working on her Graduate Diamonds (GD) certificate, and has taken classes at Studio Jewelers Ltd. in NYC. 

Cleo uses previous experience in Printmaking and Ceramics and applies it to her jewelry making. Jewelry processes range from lost wax carving to forging metals. Cleo uses only sustainable recycled metals and natural gemstones. She takes inspiration from the ancient world, mythology, and water.
