Acleoni Designs has a 20 year history for manufacturing and designing high end fine jewelry in Berkeley California. Founded in 1986 by Antionette Cleoni who is also their chief designer, Acleoni Designs holds firm to their belief that jewelry is more than just a fashion accessory and as participants of a larger web of interconnectedness, seeking to create links between artisans and the public, they interpret and design the best of what culture past and present provides them. Their "hands on" approach to crafting jewelry still remains to this day as they work closely with local Balanese artisans.
