“I design each and every piece with a woman or muse in mind.”

Jewelry designer Zoë Chicco’s elevated everyday pieces have been worn by a never-ending list of strong, stylish, and powerful women — celebrities like Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Jessica Alba among them. Besides that, since its start in 2000, her eponymous brand has developed such a devoted following that it’s now available in on-the-pulse indie boutiques and iconic retailers alike. Even with that widespread attention and fanfare, Chicco has the same goals in mind as always: Every piece must meet the standards of her meticulous eye and be handcrafted with love. And it’s this combination that makes the designer’s elegant, versatile rings, necklaces, bracelets, and more thought of as treasures their wearers want to keep forever.

What exactly does that process look like? You can see for yourself. Chicco and her team gave CCC a peek behind the curtain: From finding the perfect conflict-free diamonds to adding finishing touches to the dazzling final product. See (and read about) the entire jewelry journey ahead.
