About
Catherine Marché is an award-winning fine jewellery designer celebrated for her timeless, handcrafted creations infused with Parisian elegance and modern individuality. Her work bridges art and emotion — an intimate fusion of culture, craftsmanship, and joie de vivre. Each piece is a celebration of life, love, and self-expression, designed for women who appreciate beauty, authenticity, and meaning in every detail.
Growing up internationally, Catherine’s life has always been defined by movement and discovery. She lived in 22 places across three countries, absorbing the colours, rhythms, and textures of the world around her. This rich tapestry of influences shapes her artistic vision today — one that blends the sophistication of French couture with the warmth of global inspiration. Her journey into jewellery design began after an accomplished career as a computer scientist and IT consultant in Paris and London. Yet beneath the analytical precision lay a deep creative calling: a passion for collecting and understanding jewellery, and a desire to learn the secrets behind its creation.
Following her heart, Catherine retrained as a goldsmith, studying at Central Saint Martins and earning City & Guilds qualifications in jewellery design and craft. She later refined her artistry through masterclasses with elite goldsmiths in Hatton Garden, Scotland, and the Pomellato Academy in Milan. Today, she is a GIA, NAJ, and De Beers Accredited Jewellery Professional — credentials that underpin her mastery and dedication to excellence.
Catherine describes herself as a storyteller in metal and gemstones, a weaver of emotions into wearable art. Her journey has never followed a straight line; it has danced, twisted, and sparkled much like her designs. Through jewellery, she found a profound way to connect with people — to translate feelings into form, and to bring light to life’s most meaningful moments. In her studio, joy and craftsmanship coexist in perfect harmony, each creation born from the desire to make someone feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful.
Her clients are her muses. Every commission begins with a conversation — an exploration of personal stories, memories, and aspirations. Catherine listens deeply, interpreting each narrative into shapes, textures, and colours that capture her client’s true essence. She believes jewellery should not only adorn the body but also mirror the soul. Her creations are infused with individuality, freedom, and the playful spirit of la Parisienne: chic yet spontaneous, elegant yet daring. Whether it’s a bespoke engagement ring, a cocktail statement, or an heirloom bracelet, each piece becomes a talisman of joy and confidence.
Working with recycled 18ct and 22ct gold, sterling silver, responsibly sourced gemstones, and luminous cultured pearls, Catherine combines traditional goldsmithing techniques with a contemporary aesthetic. Her collections are luxurious yet versatile — designed to be layered, mixed, and treasured for generations. From sculptural rings to luminous necklaces and artful earrings, her creations embody effortless sophistication with an unmistakable French twist.
Sustainability lies at the heart of Catherine’s practice. She is deeply committed to using reprocessed, locally sourced gold and ethically mined gemstones. “Jewellery is a need,” she says. “It connects us to our happiest memories and lets us express who we truly are. My mission is to spread joy while helping my clients radiate individuality, class, and elegance — on their own terms.” Her approach to eco-luxury proves that sustainability and glamour can coexist beautifully.
Her pieces have been featured in Vogue, L’ Officiel, Evening Standard, Mariées, Vanguard NY, and Elendur Magazine, and showcased in acclaimed books such as 1000 Jewelry Inspirations and The New Encyclopaedia of Jewellery Techniques. Collectors and admirers worldwide treasure her work for its sensual simplicity, refined craftsmanship, and emotional depth.
For Catherine Marché, jewellery is far more than decoration — it is a language of love, beauty, and empowerment. Every creation is an invitation to express your true essence, to celebrate milestones, and to adorn your story with elegance and joy. Whether you are choosing a ring to mark a lifelong commitment, or simply indulging in a piece that makes you feel radiant, Catherine invites you to discover jewellery that feels personal, poetic, and profoundly yours.
Catherine is a member of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery, The Guild of Jewellery Designers, and Jewellery Designers Collective. She is also included in the Crafts Council Directory and was amongst the first 50 jewellers to have taken the Fair Luxury Pledge
