Cicada

Cicada Jewelry was founded in 1985 and is located in the heart of the New York City jewelry district on 47th, where each unique piece is meticulously handcrafted. Inspired by the vibrant beauty of precious and semi-precious gemstones in dynamic cuts, Cicada's pieces are designed around the unique center stone. “We are inspired by the unique qualities of a stone, how the light catches it, the possibilities of its shape and depth of color… We often find a stone we love and we design around it.” Every piece is bespoke and like no other. 

“Each piece fits a theme, but no two are exactly alike. The colors might vary or we will set the piece with a different center stone. We don’t like repeating designs – we never want to become bored by doing the same thing. We pride ourselves on making everything in house. Our team includes model-makers, stone-setters, polishers and enamelers… Many of the artisans involved in creating Cicada jewelry have been with the firm for 20 or 30 years. It takes a long time to train someone with their caliber.”
