From the Designer:
I'm Catherine Canino, the designer behind CC + Co by Catherine Canino. My passion for jewelry dates back to 1972, starting with a pasta-and-yarn necklace crafted at a kitchen table in Connecticut.
Fashion and design have always been obsessions of mine, leading me to a fancy art school education. After graduation, reality set in with gritty factory work and industry design gigs. My brand began humbly in a studio apartment on the Upper East Side, with a slightly illegal torch, a tumbler, and many late nights spent handcrafting each piece.
Our designs are inspired by the timeless elegance of vintage fashion, the character of estate and antique jewelry, and the beauty of art and architecture. We blend classic styling with a wink of humor and a sense of sophistication
Once an idea strikes, we dive into production, modeling and molding our own hardware. Our factory, in the heart of Manhattan’s jewelry district, is home to a team of 12 talented artisans who bring each piece to life.
