Bose and London-based Cece Jewellery have produced a one-off custom version of Bose’s second-generation Ultra Open Earbuds, decorated with gold, diamonds and enamel. The piece, which includes an 18-karat gold carrying bag, is the prize in a draw for customers who buy the earbuds through Bose’s e-commerce site; the draw is due to begin Monday, according to WWD.
Bose and London-based Cece Jewellery have created a one-off edition of the company’s second-generation Ultra Open Earbuds, adding gold, diamonds and champlevé enamel to the audio product. According to WWD, the custom set will be awarded in a draw beginning Monday, with customers who purchase the earbuds through Bose’s e-commerce site automatically entered.
The design, created by Cece Jewellery founder and designer Cece Fein-Hughes, dresses the earbuds with gold panels engraved with the words “Stay Wild”. Diamond-set stars and enamel horseshoe and heart-with-wings motifs add further decoration. Fein-Hughes told WWD that the concept draws on music as escapism, folklore and the idea of “staying wild.”
The one-off set also includes a miniature 18-karat gold carrying bag with a detachable chain. Weighing more than 172 grams, the bag is made with gold chainmail and has a diamond-set frame. Its detachable bow includes a diamond and can be worn as a necklace charm; a medallion depicts a flying horse against a night sky. WWD reported that only one person will receive the custom piece.
The prize is tied to a purchase: customers who buy the earbuds on Bose’s e-commerce site during the draw will be entered automatically, WWD reported. The source does not provide the draw’s end date, the earbuds’ purchase price, or details about any additional entry requirements.
Jewelry Meets Wearable Audio
The collaboration puts a single bespoke design at the intersection of fine jewelry and consumer audio, treating earbuds not just as a listening device but as an accessory. The gold and diamond detailing, along with a substantial custom carrying bag, makes the project a collectible design object rather than a standard color or trim update.
For Bose, the project extends a series of collaborations that give its products a fashion or jewelry treatment. For Cece Jewellery, it offers a high-profile application of the brand’s design work beyond conventional jewelry. The commercial reach of this particular release is limited, however: the custom set is one of a kind, and the reported route to receiving it is a draw connected to buying Bose earbuds.

Bose’s Earlier Designer Collaborations
WWD described the partnership as part of a run of Bose collaborations with designers and jewelers. Last year, U.S. brand Kendra Scott revisited the Ultra Open Earbuds in three colorways sold exclusively at Target. The report also cited one-of-a-kind headphones imagined by jeweler Nadine Ghosn for tennis player Coco Gauff and NBA player Anthony Edwards ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
More recently, Bose worked with fashion label Thom Browne on a collaboration involving its QuietComfort Ultra headphones, according to WWD. The Cece Jewellery project differs in its reported scale: it is a one-off custom edition rather than a set of colorways described as available for sale.
““I love the idea that something so beautifully timeless can hold the technology of today.””

Draw Terms Still Unspecified
The source report says the draw begins on Monday but does not give a calendar date, closing date, winner announcement date, or full terms. It also does not state whether purchases made outside Bose’s e-commerce site qualify, whether there are geographic or age restrictions, or how the winner will be selected and contacted. Readers should check Bose’s official draw terms for current eligibility and deadlines before purchasing.
WWD reports the set as a one-off prize, but the supplied information does not provide a monetary valuation or say whether the earbuds themselves are included in the purchase-linked entry as a separate item. No details are given on whether the design may later be reproduced or offered commercially.
Bose Draw Opens Monday
The next stated step is the opening of the purchase-linked draw on Monday. Customers considering entry will need to review the current rules on Bose’s e-commerce site, including the start and closing times, eligible locations, and any other conditions. The report does not identify when Bose expects to announce a winner or whether further information about the collaboration will be released.
