History
Established in 2013.
In 2008 Cival started as a creative side project making pieces for myself, friends and family as a broke collage student recycling and combining pieces passed down to me by my grandmother or picked up at estate sales. I started selling pieces at local shops and did that in the side for a number of years. After graduating, moving to Milwaukee getting a corporate job, I quickly realized I was meant for other things. Staring at my gray cubicle walls feeling my true talents slipping away, as I struggled to keep up with the workload of what honestly could have been three peoples jobs, I decided I wanted to work for myself and I would create a space where people like me would want to work. I began using every spare moment to work on my jewelry design business and in 2013 my company laid off 10% of its staff including me. I jumped in full time, cashed in my life savings, created a new jewelry line, listed them, and booked my first booth at a wholesale trade show in Chicago.
