Everyone deserves a little luxury in life don’t you think?
I believe that fine jewellery is an investment in oneself, a piece to be cherished and passed down through generations. It’s quality over quantity thats needed.

This 18ct yellow gold rainbow sapphire and diamond ring was gifted to celebrate a marriage, the birth of a child, the love of a family and the essence of the woman who, without which, the first three would not exist. This luxury gift holds an incredible power.

If you are looking for the perfect piece of jewellery to gift your loved one, let me help you to make it a reality. Christmas is not that far away!

👩🏻‍🎨👩🏻‍🏭 From brushstroke to bench✨

Every piece I make begins as a painting. Before I touch any metal, I paint the design in watercolour and gouache - working out the colours, the stones and how it will sit when it’s worn.

I trained as a painter before I became a goldsmith, and I’ve never stopped painting. It’s how I think. It’s also how every bespoke commission begins - with a painting made just for you.

Christmas bespoke commissions close on Saturday 31 October. Book a consultation through the link in my bio.

Something new from A Sea Full of Stars.

New designs. New colours. Pearls that sparkle as well as glow, sapphires the colour of sea foam, and plenty of gold.

My newsletter family will see them first, on Thursday 29 October and will have the weekend to peruse and purchase. There is only one of each piece then they are made to order, so a first look really does mean first pick.

✨TWO FAIRS, one very busy bench. Swipe for the details, coming up soon.

RHS Garden Wisley - Craft in Focus & Desire Jewellery Fair, Stand 17, 4-8 November
Handmade Chelsea - Chelsea Old Town Hall, 12-14 November

👀I’ll have NEW pieces launching that week from A Sea Full of Stars with me, so come and be the first to see them up close.

Fairs are my favourite part of the year. You can hold the pieces, try them on and hear the stories behind them. Its also the perfect time to open a conversation about something made bespoke - just for you - so come and say hello.

Dreaming of something made just for them this Christmas? This is your sign.

Bespoke commissions made in time for Christmas close on Saturday 31 October.

Every bespoke piece starts with a conversation and a watercolour painting. Then I make it by hand in my London studio - from brushstroke to bench. That takes time, which is why the deadline is now rather than December.

My other Christmas dates:
Made-to-order collections pieces and personalisations - Mon 30 November
Last dispatch for in stock pieces - Fri 18 December

I love the peace of London in August. Fewer emails, fewer people about, not such a relentless pace to keep up with, always a parking space.

Back at it today, thinking further ahead than usual - a September photoshoot, 2 major fairs in November, even a first quiet thought about Christmas, though I’m not quite ready to say that out loud yet! All Jewellers must turn their minds to Christmas by August - that’s the rhythm of the job.

Comment: What are you already planning for later in the year?

I couldn’t agree more, and it’s not because of what the jewellery looks like - I relate to this because of what a piece carries.

A ring that belonged to someone who isn’t here anymore. A pendant from the person who knows you best. A piece bought for yourself, on the day you decided something needed to change. Jewellery holds all of that quietly, on your hand or at your neck, and somehow that’s enough to make you stand a little straighter, go forward with confidence, feel the strength of others by your side when you need it most.

I think that’s the real transformation - not the piece itself, but the presence it lets you carry. Their strength, their memory, their belief in you, close enough to touch whenever you need it.

Save this for the days you need reminding who’s with you.

Introducing KE COUPLE - SAM & LAUREN! 🥂🌞
As August comes to a close with these long dreamy, summer holiday evenings, I love to look back at my KE couples’ special days. There is nothing like the feeling of seeing two people in their happiest moments wearing rings I hand made with love and care especially for them. In their own words this is Sam and Lauren’s story -
“Sam and I met as teenagers and had a brief ‘romance’ (if you could call anything romantic aged 15) and hung out as friends before losing touch for about a decade. Thankfully we re-found each other as adults and things became a bit more romantic the second time round! After being together for 8 years, having 2 children and a dog, we decided it was finally time to make things official and we got married in Islington in 2023.

We loved Katherine’s designs and the way she involved us in creating our wedding rings was exactly what we wanted as we felt part of the process, and made it feel extra special. She came up with a beautiful design for my wedding ring which compliments my engagement ring perfectly, and I love how totally unique it is.”

It was such a pleasure to work with Sam and Lauren on their rings. To see two people who had already cemented such a loving family unit, full of laughter and joy, made the union of these two all the more wonderful. I wish them every happiness.

The morning of my best friend’s wedding I had a message from Amber asking if I had anything that would work with a midnight blue velvet dress with plunging neckline.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mind went immediately to the my sterling silver Supernova and Shooting Pearl Pendant. From its namesake collection it carries the shimmering ‘Cosmic Dust’ texture that has become my signature paired with a blue-black statement pearl with the kind of depth and lustre that changes with movement and light.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She loved it - it just felt right, a part of her - and by the end of the night it was hers.

From Brushstroke to Bench. Bespoke fine jewellery as personal as the story it tells.
