Meet Christina

In 2020, artist Christina Whitney had the idea to pair shells with semi precious and precious stones to create jewelry that embodied the playful spirit and uplifting power of the ocean.

Always drawn to the sea as a place to gather strength and inspiration, jewelry offered a creative way for Christina to wear the shells that she collected and carried with her everywhere. Christina’s jewelry quickly caught the eye of legendary Bergdorf stylist Betty Halbreich, and a new chapter in her life began–CCWW Designs by Christina Puchi was born.
Today, Christina designs her fine jewelry line from her studio, steps from the beach in Florida where she collects the very shells she designs with. Her pieces are created using a variety of materials including gold, carved wood, carved stone, precious and semi precious gemstones and of course, shells. In the same way that Christina originally reimagined the possibilities of a shell, her work takes iconic forms that we all feel a connection to, and then reinvents them as something truly special.
CCWW Designs is a female-led brand that is hand-crafted in the United States by talented artisans. The fine jewelry collection can be found at exceptional retailers as well as at  the CCWW Designs site.Although Christina creates each piece from the perspective of an artist, she designs her jewelry to be both beautiful and meaningful–wearable works of art that she hopes will also bring you joy.
