Seekelia is where ancient Sicilian craftsmanship meets modern elegance.

Every piece is designed and handcrafted by me, transforming traditional crochet techniques into contemporary jewelry rich in meaning and beauty.

I’m Marina Monitto, founder and designer of Seekelia. I was born in a Baroque town in Sicily, where crochet and embroidery were not simply crafts, but a way of life passed down through generations. As a child, I learned these rare techniques from my grandmother and from nuns at the local convent—methods once used to create the wedding trousseaus of Sicilian brides.

After many years working in sales across Europe and the United States, a deeply transformative moment in my life led me back to my roots. During that time, crochet became a daily ritual of calm and reflection—a form of meditation that allowed me to slow down, reconnect, and create. From that journey, Seekelia was born.

Today, Seekelia represents resilience, intentional craftsmanship, and the beauty of honoring tradition in a modern way. I personally design and handcraft each piece, working slowly and with care to create jewelry that feels personal, lightweight, and timeless.

Seekelia also supports organizations dedicated to cancer research and patient care, allowing every creation to carry a message of hope beyond its beauty.

Seekelia is more than jewelry.
It is a piece of Sicily, made to be worn, felt, and remembered.
