Our Sustainability Promise

At Maxi Cif Designs, we believe in creating beautiful products while also being mindful of our impact on the planet.
We are committed to being eco-friendly by reusing and recycling all shipping materials for our wholesale and consignment orders. Our dedication to sustainability extends to our retail orders as well, where we use paper boxes and padded mailers made from recycled paper, and avoid including extra, unnecessary packaging with your order. We source most of our materials from the USA to reduce our shipping carbon footprint, and even refine all silver scrap to be recycled for new sheet and wire.

Maxi Cif Designs is a one-woman company, striving to create simple, ethical, sterling jewelry, inspired by the earth and moon. Formally trained in metal working and digital object design, Maxi began using her love of bright stones, crystals and flowers in her work, allowing the forms to speak for themselves.

Maxi earned a BFA in Interdisciplinary Object Design from Towson University, concentrating in CAD and metal working. Using her passion for silversmithing she designs and fabricates all Maxi Cif Designs pieces out of her home studio.

Influenced by the vastly unique essence of a wide variety of botanical species, the jewelry forms take their shape from the hand selected stones and delicate lines from each flower petal. All Maxi Cif Designs wire forms and components are designed and fabricated by the maker, and each piece is lovingly made by hand in Baltimore, MD.

handmade means made by hand

At Maxi Cif Designs, we take pride in the fact that all of our products are made by hand, ensuring that each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail. We source our sterling silver from the USA, using only the highest quality materials to create stunning, unique pieces that are built to last. Unlike many other jewelry companies, we do not resell or recreate jewelry. Each piece is an original work of art, carefully designed and crafted to embody our commitment to quality and creativity. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a subtle accent, we have the perfect piece to elevate your style.
