Claudia and Catalina, the sister duo of Cleo and Cat, produce a [bold artistic collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu) of [polymer clay jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection). Their pieces are great attention-grabbers, as they are rich with color and semi-precious stones.

The polymer clay medium allows for a sculptural quality, while the large scale of each piece magnifies a great attention to detail. I am particularly drawn to Cleo and Cat's [collection of rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cove-fine-jewelry) called Drama, Fusion and Nocturnal -- be sure to check them out.
