Cival Jewelry Studio

Walking into Cival Jewelry & Design Studio was like stepping into a beautifully curated space. I knew I wanted something completely unique for my wedding band, and from the moment I met Rae, I knew I was in great hands. She totally got my style and helped bring a design to life that combines elegance and simplicity with a bold and edgy feel. It's minimal, yet a statement piece—and it's perfectly designed to wear as a standalone ring or stack with my engagement bands. My favorite part was being able to sit in the shop and go through the design process with Rae. I absolutely loved it and felt so, so special. It was an experience I will never forget. Kathryn was also amazing and helped us find the perfect gold band for my husband, which suits him perfectly—simple, classic, and just right for someone who didn’t think he cared much about rings… until he saw this one. Her communication throughout the entire process was warm, thorough, and professional. What really stood out to us was how unique and intentional the whole experience was. Rae and Kathryn treated us with so much care and made what could’ve been a stressful wedding to-do feel easy and fun. We’ll definitely be back for future pieces. Highly, highly recommend—especially if you want something that feels like you and was made by people who truly love what they do. Congrats on the new space! xo, Taylor & Storm

I will forever speak so highly of this business and the women who run it. Not only is the ready-to-wear jewelry so cool, unique, and high quality, but they excel in custom and heirloom creations. My finance and I worked with them to create our engagement/wedding rings and from start to finish, the experience was amazing. The entire staff made us feel so comfortable and were genuinely excited to help us create the rings of our dreams. They listened to what we wanted, and didn’t try to oversell us past our budget, which is a rare thing to find with pretty much any business. Endless thanks to Nina, Rae, and Kathryn, you have two more forever customers!

I wanted to get something really special for my wife, Sherry, and she told me to check out Cival Jewelry . I’m not much of a jewelry store guy, but this place was awesome. The vibe is super cool, and everything is handmade, small-batch, and ethically sourced...stuff you won’t find anywhere else. I worked with Rae (the owner), and she was incredible. She helped me design a few pieces that really captured what I wanted to say to Sherry. Rae and her team were patient, fun to work with, and totally nailed it. This is hands down my new go-to jewelry spot. Can’t wait to go back.

I discovered Cival Collective when I first moved to Milwaukee about 5 years ago. I followed them on their instagram account and purchased directly from a “story” sale for my first piece. Ever since then, I’ve been addicted to their pieces and have purchased several more throughout the years. I absolutely love how unique and beautiful the jewelry is. I also love being able to support a local woman owned business! Absolutely recommend and 100% suggest everyone check them out!!!

Cannot say enough good things about this treasure of a store! They are so attentive, their customer service is unmatched, and the jewelry is unimaginably beautiful. It’s been lovely working with them in such a short time between my engagement/wedding. I wish I lived closer, but I’m thankful their delivery is quick and seamless 💛

My first visit (and certainly not my last) to Cival was yesterday. WOW. I was blown away by the simplicity, yet elegance of all the pieces. I loved that one can customize pieces and that different sizing and lengths were available. Rae helped me choose a locket and was incredibly helpful and informative. The shop is curated beautifully, the jewelry is timeless and classy, and the customer service was next to none. I can’t wait to be back.

Designing my custom ring with Nina was such a magical process. My ring is truly one of a kind, and it feels “like me.” I’m so grateful for Nina and the entire Cival team - they are such a wonderful creative asset to Milwaukee. I’ve been buying my earrings from Cival since 2017 and was so excited to learn about their custom design services. If you haven’t been to the shop, you must visit!

Hands down the best jewelry store! The products offered are one of a kind and unique. The staff always greets you with a smile and is eager to help. There is no other store I rather shop at for myself and others!

I extended my trip specifically for a visit to Cival, and IT WAS WORTH IT! The gals have a laidback, fun vibe. They're around if you need them and will also offer to show you the piece you're looking at (instead of waiting around for you to ask). They have their jewelry production right in the back and offer to change a length/clasp/gemstone. I found an amazing vintage watch fob converted into a bracelet, but I didn't care for the chain. The gals offered me a few different vintage chain options and edited the piece on the spot! She was patient when it didn't fit and kindly added an extra link to the newly edited piece. That extra mile is what makes any business stand out from the rest, and I very much appreciated it! There were 4 different gals working and each of them were a part of my store experience. I love that vibe - a nice cross between slumber party vibe, girly pop vibe and artsy vibe. Most of their pieces are sterling silver or brass, but they have a handful of pieces in 14k and gold fill. I got a mixture of both! Their sweet spot price point is "affordable" while some pieces are definitely spendy. I've got my eye on a vintage wedding band for $3k. The store is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Plenty of street parking in front! Yes they have a bathroom that's roomy and clean (and chic!)

Found waaaaay too many items for me as I was Gianni g up. Christmas shopping for friends. Great handmade jewelry. Wonderful candles, too. All at reasonable prices. Service was very helpful and friendly. And- they have a shop dog! I'll be back.

I woke up last week and thought, I need to go buy some rings that make me feel like a badass. And then I remembered Cival. Their social media posts displayed a wide selection of beautiful pieces that speak to each and every person. With a desire to support local as much as I can in 2022 and going forward, I hopped in my car and made my way to the store. In a beautiful old building located south of the city, Cival welcomed you into what feels like a force field of power, strength and boldness. The staff is incredibly welcoming and are open to having conversations about what you're looking for. The little velvet boxes in the front make it easy to pick up items as you peruse the shop because let's be honest, you'll need time to ponder on the treasures you will find. From necklaces, rings, bracelets to crystals, Cival's collection is the perfect place for buying gifts for yourself and loved ones. And the decor and design of the shop , are you for hire?! It feels effortless while also every detail completely thought of. This is by far one of the most beautifully decorated spots in Milwaukee. It truly is an art piece in itself. Be sure to check it out and grab a bite to eat at the National cafe close by!

I started following Cival Collective on Instagram, which was dangerous because all of their posts show off the gorgeous jewelry they have amongst other lovely items. I finally couldn't restrain myself and bought the most lovely rubber plant in an antique brass pot. I placed the order online and was notified quickly that my order was ready to be picked up, with clear instructions of how to do so. The plant and holder were just as beautiful as the online pictures showed. Since then, my husband also took the hint of my obsessive scrolling through their jewelry online and bought me two pairs of earrings for a Valentines gift. They are amazing quality and are truly beautiful. I've found in a world of WFH zoom calls, earrings are the best way to make it look like I tried to be a person that day and these certainly do the trick! I feel glamorous and don't even have to change out of my leggings. Will be adding necklaces to my wish list next!

I love this shop, they always have cute and unique pieces! They even have a pup running around who cleans up garbage and nicely asks you to play with her

Unique creations, super customer service and genuine kindness oozes from the store too...

This is such a great shop that I found out about from several Milwaukee locals when I asked about their favorite shops. The jewelry is unique, beautiful, and affordable. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Aside from jewelry, they also have fun vintage housewares, beautiful blankets and handbags, and more. This will definitely be a Milwaukee staple when I come to visit in the future.

I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for this small business! The ladies are always so professional, friendly, and beyond accommodating, not to mention their products are strikingly beautiful and unique. Their top quality jewelry and exquisite customer service are what keeps me coming back.

Cival is something special. I've been wearing their pieces for years and I continue to receive compliments on all of them. They are always evolving , but continue to stay consistent with their quality, affordable price point, personal customer service and great style. Wonderful selection at their storefront location in Milwaukee, too.
