Our Story

Cynthia's collections reflect multifaceted women who live their lives with an unexpected twist of originality and poetry.

Cynthia Raffoul is a Beirut-based fine jewelry designer whose work sits at the intersection of sculpture, identity, and wearable art. Trained at ESMOD  — one of the world's leading fashion and design institutions — she developed her craft under some of Europe's most recognized luxury houses, working alongside the fashion designer Maison Rabih Keyrouz and French eyewear designer Alain Mikli before returning to Beirut to build her own maison.

 

Her collections are not accessories. They are positions. Each piece begins as a sketch — a conversation between form and the woman who will wear it — and ends as a handcrafted object in 18K yellow gold, sterling silver, enamel, or diamonds, made entirely in her Beirut atelier.

 

The Second Skin collection, her most celebrated work, explores the idea of jewelry as an extension of the body rather than an addition to it. The Caramel collection brings color and playfulness into fine jewelry through adjustable sterling silver rings with vibrant enamel. The Abysse collection draws from the deep — dark stones, fluid forms, the quiet intensity of the sea.

 

Cynthia Raffoul jewelry is stocked at Qirdala and Gema.qa and ships worldwide from Beirut.

 

Cynthia believes that the most personal object a woman can own is something made specifically for her. Her bespoke service — which has produced engagement rings, anniversary commissions, and heirloom pieces for clients across Lebanon, the Gulf, and Europe — is the heart of the maison.
