It doesn’t seem Cecil Norwood is too bothered about having his Nazi affiliations known. Nashville, let’s make sure they’re known far and wide. Norwood’s of Nashville is a Nazi-owned business. 10/10
facebook post from C Edward Norwood, September 8. "New pretties listed. 12 unique gemstone Mjolnir pendants, artistic beetle necklaces, moons and more! [website] Sharing is appreciated!" image is two Mjolnir pendants including the carnelian one from upthread, a beetle pendant, and a moon pendant. the words "You should know about Norwood's of Nashville: it's a Nazi-owned business!" and "Nazi stuff from a Nazi place" are overlaid.

On one of his several facebook pages, Cecil E. Norwood shares photos of jewelry available on both sites; shares photos of the Hendersonville building he lived and worked in until the December 2023 tornado; and posts the occasional image of a Nazi soldier. 8/10
facebook post from C Edward Norwood, July 13, whose profile is the long-haired photo from post 1. "Finally cutting up some of my stones. Red Tiger eye, Lapis Lazuli, and Labaradorite Mjolnirs today." image is of the distinctive red tiger's eye piece in the Mjolnir shape with the break in color, not yet set as a pendant. other Mjolnir shapes are visible in the background. facebook post from C Edward Norwood. "Just a few creations available now. Custom orders are still open for the Christmas season. Message me for custom requests. [website] #jewelry #handmade #yule #christmast #pendant #ring #norwoodsofnashville" image is of 7 different pendants including the distinctive orange/red tiger's eye Mjolnir. facebook post from C Edward Norwood, December 31 2023. "Need to find a place to work and live asap. Long story short: Been working for a year to upgrade my shop (I make jewelry and sell online). Bought new equipment. Was just setting everything up when a tornado hit me. Dec. 9th. Still no power. Several more weeks until I get electric. Need a surgery (actually two) badly. Had to reschedule it two weeks ago. I had accounted for that and was going to make new designs and learn on my new equipment during recovery so as not to lose any time. I live and work in a small commercial building. Landlords just told me they expect me to pay rent for January and that they want to go to a month-to-month lease. (Current expires in February.) Likely, this little commercial building will be condemned. I just need a place to rent that I can live in and work. I'm on disability but was planning to get off of it as soon as I have the last surgery and get my online sales up. Currently in the Nashville area. Willing to go anywhere. Can't afford any place else around here. (I'm paying $500 a month rent) Ideally, I'd like 1,000 square feet. Space to work, a bed, a kitchenette and a bathroom. $500 a month. My car was f'd up but is reliable and still good so I don't mind some place in the middle of nowhere, as long as there is a grocery store and post office near. I just need space and a little time. Long shot to find something.....but I thought I'd ask around." Image is of a building with tornado damage. facebook post from C Edward Norwood showing a black-and-white photo of a soldier drinking beer. his hat shows Nazi insignia, which are overlaid with purple arrows.

Cecil Norwood is involved in several white supremacist organizations including Stormfront and the Creativity Movement. In a recent telegram chat, white supremacists discussed ordering rings from Black Sun as daytime alternatives for the KKK robes they wear at night. 7/10
screenshot from telegram. unknown user: "Custom rings are about 150-250 depending." (response to Pine Tree Law to "If Otter gets around to creating the grou..." - "that's not happening, lol.") unknown: image of two black and silver rings. User Pine Tree Law: "I got the cash right now" (response to "that's not happening, lol" - "Why?") unknown, response to "I got the cash right now: "That's good. Black Sun Jewelry has closed until next year to finish all orders up before Christmas." screenshot from telegram. user Pine Tree Law responding to a message beginning "Klan Robes" - "I wear this at night for hunting, in the day I'd probably wear a ring or pin on my hat. unknown user: "Yeah, Klan robes are much more ceremonial / event based. Though owning a professional Klan Uniform is easier than ever. You have a lot of different rings, pendants and pins that signify KKK membership."

A criminal history search for Cecil E. Norwood suggests a history of violence, including the discovery by his PO of a homemade dagger screwed into a pole at a time when Norwood was forbidden to have weapons. 6/10
screenshot of type. "On July 9, 2014, the probation officer conducted a random home contact on Mr. Norwood's reported address. During the conversation and walk-through of the residence, the probation officer observed a pocket knife on the bedside table, with the blade out. when asked why he would have a pocket knife beside his bed with the blade out, Mr. Norwood reported he must have forgotten to close it. The probation officer asked Mr. Norwood if he had any other weapons in the residence, something that he might use for personal protection. He advised he had a makeshift weapon behind the door, which he used for personal protection. The probation officer observed a dagger on a long painter's pole. upon closer inspection the probation officer could see that the dagger was screwed into the pole. Also observed in Mr. Norwood's bedroom, in plain view on his exercise machine, was a bow with arrows. When questioned as to why he would have a bow with arrows, Mr. Norwood reported he did not realize he was not permitted to have this item. He further stated he spent $300 on the bow and accessories, planning to create an invention having to do with the velocity of the arrow in order to modify to make it a better product."

Oh and he posted on Stormfront-- a white supremacist internet forum-- that he owns both Black Sun and Norwood’s of Nashville. A search for Cecil’s handle on Stormfront results in threads with Nazi jewelry offerings. It also shows he is a longtime Stormfront user. 5/10
screenshot from the Stormfront website. user Merk0331, whose profile photo is the same as Cecil E. Norwood's green-background photo from the first page, has responded to a thread "Re: Looking for Jewelry Maker!!!" with: "OP, you can contact me on either of my websites or email directly." links are visible for Black Sun Jewelry and Norwood's of Nashville. other text in the shot includes: "Merk0331's Jewelry for Sale - Thread II," "Cecil - Promoter for a Whiter Future," and "Posts: 7,500" under Cecil's profile. image of a silver Mjolnir-shaped pendant with the Nazi eagle at the top and a swastika in the middle and the word "Reich" visible at the bottom. purple arrows go across the pendant down and to the left. the text "Nazi shit -- for illustration purposes only" and "be antifascist!" are visible.

He has also posted several items to both sites, such as a distinctive tiger’s eye piece and a carnelian Mjolnir, which on the Black Sun website sits next to a Nazi totenkopf. 4/10
Norwood's listing for "MJOLNIR - STERLING SILVER AND RED TIGER EYE GEMSTONE (MRT3) from $200." the image shows an orange-brown gem with a gold stripe with a distinctive break in the color. the gem is in the shape of the Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, and on a chain. Black Sun listing for "Red Tiger eye and Silver Mjolnir Pendant / Necklace (MRT3) $200" with additional text saying "One-Of-A-Kind and Ready to Ship!" the image is identical to the image from Norwood's: an orange-brown gem with a gold stripe with a distinctive break in the color. the gem is in the shape of the Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, and on a chain. Norwood's listing for "MJOLNIR - STERLING SILVER AND RED CARNELIAN GEMSTONE (MC1) from $150." the image shows a dark red gem in the shape of the Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, on a chain. the background is white and there is a quarter beside the piece for scale. Black Sun listings for two items: "Red Carnelian Gemstone and Silver Mjolnir" with additional text saying "One-Of-A-Kind and Ready to Ship!" this image is identical to the image from Norwood's: a dark red gem in the shape of the Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, on a chain. the background is white and there is a quarter beside the piece for scale. above this item is a listing for "Bronze and Silver Totenkopf Pendant / SS Death's Head." this image is of a bronze skull in the Nazi totenkopf shape. purple arrows are set diagonally across the totenkopf pendent pointing down and to the left.

Norwood doesn’t work too hard to differentiate his normie business from his Nazi business: the “contact us” links on the Black Sun website redirect to Norwood’s of Nashville. 3/10
a screenshot of a website. the edge of a gold sonnenrad on some metal object is visible in the top right. the words "Follow us: facebook, instagram" are at the bottom of the page.

Cecil Edward Norwood owns two jewelry businesses: Norwood’s of Nashville and Black Sun Jewelry. “Black Sun” is a reference to the Nazi sonnenrad symbol, a variant of the swastika popular with white supremacists. 2/10
a slightly blurry black-text logo for "Black Sun Jewelry," where the words are in fancy news typeface above a round black sonnenrad (many-armed swastika shape inside a black circle). there are diagonal purple arrows moving down to the left over the sonnenrad.

Nashville! Are you looking for handmade jewelry? I recommend any shop other than Norwood’s of Nashville, which is owned by neo-Nazi Cecil E. Norwood. (Note: this is not the same shop as Norwood Jewelers in Ashland City, which as far as we know has no connection with Cecil.) 1/10
