Launched in early 2019 by Jennifer Banse, Eye of the Cat Jewellery seeks to connect people to a world of pre-loved vintage and antique jewellery. For more than two decades, Jennifer has been a model in the fashion industry, as well as a digital marketing specialist. Perhaps it was her passion for collecting art and vintage design objects that led her to now turn her full attention to curate the Eye of the Cat collection, prowling the world to rescue only the most unique pieces that catch her eye. What drives the hunt is the thrill of finding pieces—rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, charms—that have withstood the test of time, attaining unique character and time-perfected patina. To be able to share these with other enthusiasts makes the search even more worthwhile. Eye of the Cat is environmentally conscious with a strong belief that the right design is timeless. As the majority of the pieces offered being estate, vintage and antique, this means no new resources are required to manufacture them — we know how destructive gold and gemstone mining are. In addition, they may come with the history of previous owners, divulging the otherwise lost stories from another era. Eye of the Cat is also a resource for how to's, dos and don'ts tips, discoveries and news — catnip for anyone curious and wanting to learn more about the world of jewellery. Jennifer is a GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional (AJP). Needless to say, Jennifer loves cats.
