I have always been drawn to beautiful things—whether in fashion, interiors, or architecture. Working in real estate, I spend my days surrounded by incredible homes, and I have always had deep appreciation for design and styling.

Celino started from a personal moment—I wanted to buy myself something special to mark a milestone in my life, and a tennis necklace felt like the perfect choice. But as I searched, I realised there was somewhat of a gap in the market. The only options were either natural diamonds priced in the tens of thousands or the small choice of lower-end pieces that still seemed quite pricey and were mainly based overseas. I couldn’t find anything in between, especially from a local brand I connected with. So, I decided to create it myself.

Right now, Celino has just been a little passion project of mine on the side, but my vision is big. I think the world is shifting—people are moving away from the traditional natural diamond, and lab-grown stones are redefining luxury. I want to be part of that change. For me, jewellery should not just be about the investment or exclusivity—it should also be about the excitement of wearing something beautiful, especially for younger women who want to celebrate their style without the pressure of a price tag.

I’d love you to join me on this journey as I build Celino—creating pieces that feel special, effortless, and made for the every day.
