Catherine is a private jeweler specializing in pearls. She started her business in 2005, when she was looking for another way to express herself. Her education has been in the arts. She comes from a long line of fashion designers & dressmakers. Therefore, "the use of thread" is in her blood! Catherine has been in the fashion industry throughout her life. She has been in sales, modeling, and creating designs for herself, and assisting others creating their style. The natural beauty of pearls from the ocean has become a love affair for her.
She designs her own collections of pearl jewelry consisting of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The inventory holds Keishi, Akoya, South Sea, Tahitian, Freshwater Lake Biwa pearls and the favorite colored Freshwater pearls. The collection is rarely duplicated. She finds the pearls and embellishments between her travels.
Women with style and influence have pearls in their wardrobe and can be seen wearing them often. Women from designer Coco Channel, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, to our former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, as well as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton have graced themselves with pearls.
Special orders are welcomed; old strands can be restrung to your
specifications or redesigned.
