Celine's jewellery designs were inspired by her minimalist aesthetic and her love of clean lines. She often used gold, silver, and precious stones in her designs, and her pieces were known for their understated luxury.
In the 1970s, the Celine brand became popular among fashion icons such as Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. Her jewellery was also featured in several films and television shows, which helped to solidify her reputation as one of the most important jewellery designers of her time.
