BY CIMELIO began with a fascination for the stories jewelry carries. For Sarah, a jewel can be a talisman, a record of a life, or a fragment of history carried forward. Her work brings together old-world forms, unexpected color, and deeply personal details to create modern heirlooms meant to be worn, layered, lived in, and loved.
Fine jewelry can hold meaning while retaining a sense of joy.
A GEMOLOGIST’S EYE
With more than fifteen years in the jewelry trade and training as a Graduate Gemologist, Sarah brings both technical knowledge and intuition to every piece — from sourcing and evaluating stones to understanding how antique cuts, unusual materials, and inherited jewelry can be carried forward.
Sarah has long been drawn to the geometry and symbolism of medieval art and Gothic design—quatrefoils, trefoils, tracery, the rhythm of ancient architecture, and the strange beauty of medieval marginalia. Rather than reproducing those references literally, she reinterprets them through a modern lens, pairing old-world forms with unexpected color, unusual stones, and a sense of playfulness and ease.
The result is jewelry that feels familiar and bold at once: pieces rooted in history, but designed for the way we live now.
Jewelry has a remarkable ability to hold memory. An inherited stone, an antique component, a symbol chosen for a particular moment—these objects become part of the stories we live with.
At BY CIMELIO, those histories are not treated as static. They are reinterpreted, layered, and carried forward, creating pieces that feel deeply personal while still belonging to the present.
Whether a jewel begins with something old or something entirely new, the goal is the same: to create something meaningful enough to become part of a life.
Original fine jewelry inspired by old-world forms, unexpected color, and a modern point of view.
Sentimental jewelry and inherited stones, thoughtfully reimagined for the way you live now.
