Fruit is rarely just fruit in art — and Cece Jewellery knows it. The London-based atelier has launched a summer capsule that reimagines the still-life traditions of the Old Masters through the lens of fine jewellery, turning five symbolic fruits into charms of enamel, gold and diamonds. But this is more than a decorative nod to nature. In For the Love of Fruit, Cece draws on centuries of symbolism to create a collection that feels both joyful and intimate — a quiet celebration of beauty, desire and fleeting sweetness. Each piece is meticulously hand-finished, designed to be worn not just as a statement, but as a reminder: to savour the season, to indulge in softness, and to find meaning in even the smallest details.

Titled For the Love of Fruit, the collection is both light and layered. On the surface: enamel cherries, scalloped gold edges, glossy tones that call to mind Italian markets and long afternoons. But underneath it all is a narrative about temptation, self-worth and the sweetness of passing time.

Every piece in the collection is hand-engraved, enamelled using the champlevé technique, and cast in 18ct recycled yellow gold — continuing the studio’s commitment to traditional craft and intimate, personal design.

Symbols to Wear, Not Just Admire

The collection includes five key fruit charms: pear, fig, lemon, peach and cherry. Each has been chosen not just for aesthetic appeal but for its deeper symbolic value, rooted in Renaissance art and storytelling.

Pear – beauty

Softly sculpted and elegantly minimal, the Pear for Beauty charm is a tribute to native elegance. Its gentle curves are brought to life through hand-painted champlevé enamel—a technique celebrated for its depth and nuance. Cece Jewellery describes the pear as “a symbol of feminine beauty and power. Not flawless, but glowing,” and reminds us that “true beauty is in individuality”  .

Encased in 18 ct yellow gold, the charm is encircled by a scalloped pavé border and scattered star-set diamonds, each finish chosen to illuminate the pendant’s soft form and underscore its quiet confidence  . Suspended from an 18″ belcher chain (which includes a 16″ shortener), it’s a wearable statement of self-appreciation—one that urges its wearer to “see the beauty all around you, and wear your own with pride”.

Fig – temptation

Decadent, indulgent and impossible to resist, the Fig for Temptation pendant is a celebration of forbidden pleasure. Finished in deep purple enamel and surrounded by gold and diamonds, it feels both sultry and grounded — lush without being loud.

There is only one fig in the collection, but each charm is hand-enamelled, creating delicate tonal variations that make your piece your own. A reminder that temptation isn’t universal — it’s personal.

Worn alone or layered, it’s a soft provocation. A little indulgence, beautifully made.

Lemon – purity

Bright, crisp and full of clarity, the Lemon for Purity pendant is a distilled moment of brightness. Finished in vivid yellow enamel with hand-painted shading, the lemon stands alone — a single motif framed in gold and diamonds, carrying a sense of freshness that feels immediate and lasting.

Each pendant is hand-enamelled in Cece’s London atelier, creating subtle differences from one to the next — no two lemons are exactly alike. The scalloped pavé diamond border and star-set accents bring sparkle without distraction.

Worn close to the heart, it becomes a clean, honest reminder: hold on to what feels pure, and let the rest go.

Peach – abundance

Warm, ripe and quietly radiant, the Peach for Abundance pendant captures life at its most generous. Blushed with hand-painted enamel in soft, sun-drenched tones, it’s a tribute to fullness — not just in material things, but in love, emotion and time well spent.

Set in 18ct recycled yellow gold, the pendant features Cece’s signature scalloped pavé diamond frame and star-set detailing, adding gentle sparkle to its rounded form. Though the design is singular, each enamelled piece is subtly unique — a reminder that abundance doesn’t follow a template, and joy rarely repeats itself.

It’s a piece to wear as a quiet affirmation — that what you have is enough, and what’s to come might be even sweeter.

Cherry – desire

A singular standout in the For the Love of Fruit collection, the Cherry for Desire pendant invites you to embrace longing with unapologetic sweetness. Hand-painted in glossy red enamel, the cherry captures the thrill of desire — sweet and sharp all at once.

Set in 18ct recycled yellow gold, the pendant features Cece’s signature scalloped pavé diamond border and star-set detailing, adding sparkle to its smooth, rounded form. Each piece is enamelled by hand, meaning no two are exactly the same — a quiet nod to how personal desire really is.

A pendant to wear when you know what you want — and you’re not afraid to show it.

Together, they form a kind of personal language — ripe with feeling, ready to wear alone or layered as a group. Heart-cut diamonds and crescent moon motifs are threaded between the fruit charms in selected designs, underscoring themes of love, growth and transience.

This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about presence — recognising fleeting beauty and choosing to celebrate it anyway.

The Hero Necklace

The centrepiece of the collection is the For the Love of Fruit necklace — a striking composition that brings all five fruits together, suspended from a heavyweight gold belcher chain and punctuated by alternating diamond hearts and moons.

Each charm is sculpted and enamelled by hand, with scalloped pavé borders that reflect Cece’s signature style. The full composition reads like a poem: temptation, desire, purity, abundance, beauty — all connected by a thread of self-love and time.

At £43,900, it is a true heirloom piece. But it doesn’t take itself too seriously. That balance — between high jewellery and honest emotion — is what sets this collection apart.

The Process Is the Point

True to Cece Jewellery’s practice, every detail is the result of slow, intentional craftsmanship. The charms are enamelled using the champlevé method — a process that involves carving shallow recesses into the gold, carefully filling them with powdered enamel, and firing at high temperatures.

The result is a rich, tactile finish with colour that feels sunkissed, never flat. Slight variations between pieces aren’t imperfections — they’re signs that a human hand made them. A reminder, perhaps, that the most precious things are never identical.

All work is completed in Cece’s London studio and through long-standing partnerships with local master craftspeople, supporting small-scale jewellery production and specialist skill.

Why It Matters

For the Love of Fruit may be a small capsule, but its impact sits squarely in the wider conversation happening in fine jewellery today: how do we wear meaning without losing beauty? Can a piece be both playful and personal? What does it mean to create heirlooms that reflect joy, not just status?

By pairing traditional craft with fresh storytelling, Cece Jewellery offers one answer. These aren’t just charms. They’re reminders. That beauty can be fleeting, and still worth chasing. That luxury can be fun, without being disposable. That jewellery can speak to who you are, not just how you look.

The Jewels Club take

In a market where symbolism is often hollow and sentimentality mass-produced, Cece Jewellery’s For the Love of Fruitstands out for its sincerity.

This is jewellery with something to say — and the technical ability to say it beautifully. Whether you choose a single fruit or the full composition, each piece offers more than decoration. It offers perspective.

And in a season of excess, that feels rare. Call it what you like — we’re feeling fruity, and we’re all for it.
