Not Another Brand - A Quiet Uprising

Bold design, rich heritage, and the courage to be seen.
Glowing Jewels was founded in 2025 to challenge sameness, to bring visibility to African craftsmanship, and to offer Scandinavia something different—something soulful. The vision is clear: to empower heritage through design, and to turn every piece into a symbol of pride, presence, and cultural connection.


The Craft Behind the Shine

Our creations are handmade in Senegal by master artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

At the heart of our workshop is Abdou, a dedicated jeweler who shapes each design with precision, patience, and pride. Using traditional tools and no mass machinery, every bracelet, ring, and necklace becomes a one-of-a-kind piece infused with soul and meaning.

Our materials—mainly brass and copper—are chosen not only for their timeless beauty, but also for their durability and recyclability. These metals age gracefully, developing a unique patina over time—a living testament to your story and ours.

Celia Kamdom

Founder, designer

Célia Kamdom was born and raised in Paris, where the richness of culture and contrast shaped her early worldview. She later moved to Norway to pursue a successful career in the corporate world—a path defined by structure, stability, and achievement. But beneath the surface, a creative fire quietly grew.

That fire ignited fully after a life-changing trip to Senegal. There, she met Abdou and his team of artisans and witnessed a craft so powerful, so intentional, it stirred something deep within her. She fell in love—with the process, the people, and the legacy held in every handmade piece. In that moment, she knew she had found her purpose.

Abou Cissokho

Artist Jeweler

In the vibrant heart of Dakar, Senegal, Abdou leads a small team of dedicated artisans who transform raw metal into living stories. With decades of experience passed down through generations, his hands work with quiet precision and powerful intention. He doesn’t just make jewelry—he honors a legacy. Each piece is shaped by fire, cooled by patience, and finished with a deep respect for African artistry. His workshop hums with rhythm, laughter, and soul.

Abdou’s work embodies a quiet mastery that resists the rush of mass production. Every item that leaves his bench carries not only beauty, but the echo of a tradition that refuses to fade. Working with him isn’t just a collaboration—it’s a shared devotion to excellence, authenticity, and storytelling through craft.
