Cheena Mitchell, the self-taught jewelry designer behind Chee Lee Designs, draws inspiration from her artistic upbringing and North African tribal aesthetics, blending them with modern elegance. Her work reflects the boldness of 1980s fashion while focusing on creating timeless, wearable art. Each piece is designed with a spiritual essence, serving as amulets and talismans meant to protect and bring good fortune to their wearers.
Cheena has been designing jewelry for many years, with her earlier collection, Cheena Ba Designs, being sold at prestigious retailers like Barneys New York, Intermix, and Steven Alan in the 1990s. In the early 2000s, she revamped her collection to include striking 22 Karat Gold Vermeil and the unique 23 Karat Chocolate Gold Vermeil, known for its versatility and flattering tone
