BY CIMELIO — Where Jewelry Becomes Memory & Meaning 

BY CIMELIO is a modern heirloom studio devoted to refining the sacred relationship between meaning, memory, and adornment.

We believe jewelry is more than ornament—it is language.

A symbolic vessel.

A carrier of identity and lineage.

A keeper of emotional history.

Our work is rooted in design alchemy: blending antique stones, historical silhouettes, and forgotten fragments with sculptural modern design. Each piece is crafted with intention and is meant to hold something personal, powerful, and enduring.

We create jewelry that feels intimate.

Jewelry that speaks.

Jewels that have previous lives, and will outlive us.

Whether born from fresh gemstones or revived from antique components, every BY CIMELIO piece is crafted to echo the past while stepping boldly into its next chapter.

These are not accessories.

They are Modern Heirlooms — shaped by story, animated by meaning, and made to be worn with purpose.

Founder and designer Sarah Demchyk is a graduate gemologist and lifelong student of the stories gemstones carry. With over fifteen years of experience in the jewelry trade, Sarah brings a deep technical mastery to her work—from gem identification and sourcing to antique-cut analysis and precision design.

Her training, expertise, and intuitive eye have made her a sought-after collaborator for clients seeking pieces that hold true emotional and material value. Sarah’s approach sits at the intersection of gemology, art history, and design alchemy.

She draws inspiration from the pure geometries of Medieval art and architecture-quatrefoils, trefoils, arches, symmetry- and reinterprets these ancient shapes into modern sculptural heirlooms. Her aesthetic balances the romance of the past with a forward-looking sensibility: gothic details, antique stones, candy-bright palettes, and symbolic forms that feel both timeless and electric.

At the heart of Sarah’s work is a belief that jewelry is a vessel for meaning. Every stone has a history. Every heirloom carries memory. Every custom project is a collaboration rooted in story.

Her intention is simple: to create pieces that feel intimate and alive — jewels that belong to your present but are destined to be cherished long into the future.
