Cecile Raley Designs was founded in 2007 and in 2009, we started this shop on Etsy. Cecile Raley Designs is dedicated to all things sustainable and fair. Our castings are made from recycled metals by Taba Jewelry in NYC, and our gems are untreated whenever possible.
Cecile Raley Designs promotes local artisanship and fair wages. We strive to understand how our gems and materials are sourced and we regularly travel to our supplier “families.” “Family” has a very special meaning in the gemstone trade, and you can read about our families in our blog: https://www.cecileraleydesigns.com/blogs/other-musings/1?_pos=1&_sid=0990d8497&_ss=r
Based just outside New York City, Cecile Raley Designs uses local artists to help with production. This blog explains the work that goes into producing our pieces: https://www.cecileraleydesigns.com/blogs/gem-jewelry-industry/jewelry-101-how-stuff-gets-made
As of November 2018, we are a proud member of the AGTA (American Gem Trade Association). This is a big deal as you can see in this blog: https://www.cecileraleydesigns.com/blogs/other-musings/1?_pos=1&_sid=0990d8497&_ss=r.
We are a proud curator of truly rare gems: Paraiba Tourmaline, Mahenge, Cobalt and Burmese Spinel, Color Change Garnet, Hauyne, Benitoite, Kornerupine, Russian Emerald and many more.
Thank you for visiting our shop, we hope you like what you see.
Yours, Yvonne Cecile Raley and Team

5 out of 5 starsGorgeous gemstones (sapphires) as described. Fast shipping, beautifully packaged. Etsy unfortunately marked my detailed direct message as spam, but Yvonne got back to me quickly after checking her spam folder. If you don't hear back from her, send another message because this seller is responsive and helpful!
