CALL HER DAISY RING | 2024

Celeste Chambers-Hill aims to bring a sense of individuality to every piece of jewelry she produces. Originally from Dorset but now based in London, Celeste graduated in Silversmithing and Jewelry Design from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020, where her work focused on exploring ideas of femininity, drag, and queer culture. Now she creates jewelry from recycled silver and semi-precious stones to bring color into her work and aims to eliminate any waste.

Since graduating, her work revolves around camp culture and self-expression, creating standout pieces that capture attention. Celeste incorporates her passion for sourcing ethical gemstones and recycled silver with her interest in making exuberant jewelry that allows the wearer to express their personality to the world.

 

DAISY CHAIN EARRINGS | 2024

Jewelry should reflect your unique style and true self, serving as a window into your soul to be worn with pride. Each piece handcrafted by Celeste is one-of-a-kind, ensuring no two pieces are alike, much like our individual personalities.

Entitled ‘Objects of Femininity,’ this collection draws inspiration from drag culture, queer culture, and gender exploration. Celeste’s style, characterized by chunky silver pieces and cartoon-style shapes, aligns with the playful narrative often adopted by the drag community—a subculture born out of subverting a heteronormative society that didn’t accept them.

Through her creative process, Celeste aims to capture the essence of femininity inherent in everyone. Using color from natural gemstones, she captures vibrancy from all around us. Incorporating fluid shapes formed through reticulation and wax carving, Celeste’s work bridges the relationship between nature and femininity. Inspired by personal relationships with gender and feminine energy, her work seeks to capture the spirit of the wearer.
