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 starsI wish I could afford a giant paraiba tourmaline, but until then, I'll keep buying up Yvonne's tiny offerings. The color of this baby is superb!

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful stones! Unfortunately they were too small for what I needed. The seller was very patient explaining shipping fees to me on returns when I was confused. Would definitely purchase here again!

5 out of 5 starsYvonne helped me select the perfect Paraiba Tourmaline. I was specific about the exact color I wanted and she was more than helpful and informative in the selection process. The Paraiba is set in one of Yvonne's 14kt rose gold stacking rings. The quality of the mounting is outstanding and is the perfect way to show off my gorgeous Paraiba. Yvonne took good care of me and my Paraiba stacking ring is perfect in every way. I highly recommend this shop. Thank you Yvonne!
