CELLina Jewellery
Jewellery designed by VIA CIAURI, with input from CRIS Cancer's top researchers, transforms the beauty of cancer-fighting cells into wearable symbols of strength.
Every purchase supports life-saving research, bringing us closer to ending cancer.
CELLina jewellery turns the science of immune cells into meaningful pieces you can wear. Every necklace and bracelet reflects the incredible power of your body's natural cancer-fighting cells, while helping fund cutting-edge cancer research.
The Science Within Us
Two extraordinary forces. One shared purpose: to fight cancer.
NK cells—Natural Killer cells—are part of your innate immune system, constantly moving through the body to detect and eliminate abnormal cells, including cancer.
Without the need for prior training, they recognise early signs of danger and act quickly—seeking out and destroying cancer cells with precision and intent.
They are your body's first line of defence: a quiet, constant force working to protect you.
The power that exists within you—instinctive, immediate, and always on.

Science & Sicilian Artisanship: Our 2024 Thanksgiving Celebration

Looking back at a truly memorable afternoon, CELLina & Via Ciauri had the pleasure of inviting our community to a unique Thanksgiving celebration at Maison Arslan.
This event was about more than just holiday cheer; it was a chance to hear directly from top cancer researchers while discovering the importance of preserving Sicilian artisanship. We were incredibly honoured to host Florencia Secchiari, PhD, a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lab Manager from The Institute of Cancer Research. Florencia gave a moving speech, offering guests a firsthand look at the vital science their contributions support.
As we shared stories over pumpkin pie, guests browsed our collection of <CELLina pendants, bag charms, and holiday ornaments. Every piece available was inspired by the Natural Killer (NK) cell, reminding us of the body's natural ability to fight back.
As always, each purchase supports the CRIS Cancer Foundation UK and their top cancer researchers. It was a beautiful afternoon of engraving, education, and community that set the standard for our holiday gatherings to come.
