About Cadi Jewelry - Handmade Jewelry Studio in Barcelona
If you are here, a ring off a shelf probably never felt like enough. You want something no one else is wearing, made to mean something, and made well enough to still be yours in thirty years. That is why Cadi exists. We are a handmade jewelry studio in Barcelona, in the El Born neighborhood, and everything we make is built for one person and one story.
Made by the People Who Answer You
The worry with buying jewelry online is not knowing who is behind it. Here, the people you speak with stay involved from first idea through making. Maya and Eliad share the process, each bringing a discipline. Maya brings product design and architectural lighting; Eliad moves between traditional North African Berber metalwork and modern techniques such as 3D printing, hot enamel, filigree and specialized settings. The piece is developed together, not passed down a chain.
Why Original Costs More, and Why It Is Worth It
Mass-produced jewelry is made to be repeated. A piece built around your idea has a reason to exist only once. For us, this is what custom jewelry in Barcelona means, and what bespoke jewelry should offer:
something made around details only you will ever decode. A private joke, a date turned into texture, a hidden totem worked into the metal. That is how something deeply personal becomes heirloom jewelry.
Made in recycled 18K gold or 925 sterling silver, it is built to last for decades.
Working With You From Anywhere
Most of the people we work with are in the US, the UK and across Europe, and never set foot in the studio. That works because the process is built for distance.
It starts with a conversation about what the piece should carry, then moves into a concept, sketches or a detailed visual that you can react to before anything is made. We refine it together until the design feels right. Video calls make it possible to look at details closely and talk through decisions even when you are thousands of miles from Barcelona.
Two Ways In
You do not have to come with the whole thing worked out. Some people take a Cadi design they already love and make it their own; others start from a blank page.
Both routes can lead to a piece made specifically for you. Starting from an existing design can make it easier to imagine the proportions and feel on the hand. Starting from nothing gives us the freedom to build the object around your idea from the beginning.
Proof, Not Promises
Trusting a studio you found online is fair to question. Our work has been shown in exhibitions in Barcelona, New York and Chicago, and at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and has been covered in international press, linked from our press page. For your own piece, we can also share photos or video as it is made, so you can watch it take shape.
The proof is in details that are easy to overlook too. Eliad works across traditional and modern processes, including 3D printing, hot enamel, filigree, specialized stone settings and mechanical connections when the construction calls for them. He is particularly meticulous about how separate parts meet. The goal is for the connection to feel integral to the piece, not like a visible compromise. That standard continues where most people never look. Backs, undersides, interiors and hidden areas receive the same attention as the visible surface. Clean construction is part of the piece, even when no one else will ever see it.
How It Reaches You
If you are unsure of your ring size, we can send a ring sizer before production so the piece can be made to the right measurement.
Once finished, every piece ships free, express, worldwide, with tracking and a person to answer questions along the way. Buying something this personal from a distance takes trust, and we earn it by staying in contact throughout the process instead of disappearing until a box arrives.
FAQ
How long has Cadi been making jewelry?
Maya and Eliad started Cadi in 2010 and have run the studio together ever since. Every piece draws on more than fifteen years of continuous design and making, as well as the techniques, collaborators and knowledge built during that time.
What is the idea behind a Cadi piece?
Meaning is part of the design, not something added at the end. A symbol might be divided between two rings, a personal reference may become an abstract line or texture, or an important detail may be hidden completely. The aim is to make a piece that works as jewelry even when no one knows the story, while giving the person wearing it another layer that is entirely their own.
Who is Cadi Jewelry for?
For people who want original design and direct contact with the people making it. Some come to us because they cannot find what they have in mind in a conventional jewelry collection. Others already love a Cadi design but want to make it personal. What they tend to share is a preference for meaning, craftsmanship and individuality over logos or passing trends, and for jewelry they expect to keep for a long time.
Can I visit the studio in person?
Yes. Our studio is in the El Born neighborhood of Barcelona and visits are by appointment. If you are in the city, you can meet Maya and Eliad, talk through the piece in person and see where the work happens.
