About Catherine

I am originally from Long Island and have lived in the Boston area all of my adult life. My introduction to jewelry design began with the search for a signature necklace to hide a scar left from skin cancer; impatience led me to create my own.  

In 2008, looking to gain the skills necessary to fabricate my own findings and accents, I enrolled in my first metalsmithing class at Metalwerx in Waltham, MA.  I continue to hone my skills, experiment with new techniques and explore the endless possibilities of different jewelry art forms under the tutelage of their world class instructors.

Contemporary jewelry designs created with traditional elements.

I produce contemporary jewelry made of sterling silver and 18-karat gold (unless otherwise noted) and accented with gemstones and pearls.  Hammering and oxidization add unique texture and color to many pieces.

My studio is on Cape Cod and I have sold my work in Harwich Port and Wellfleet, MA and in the Boston area.  See my jewelry at Lexaco in Harwich Port.

I will move my studio to the Naples Art District for the winter and spring of 2025.

My imagination is piqued by all that surrounds me as I walk both noisy city streets and serene beaches. The beauty mother nature and humankind have combined to offer inspires me to recreate the shapes, textures, color, and light in the form of unique jewelry with simple lines and beautiful forms.  

After moving to the Boston waterfront, my work took on an architectural nature that reflects both the durable structures of old and the shiny high rises of new.   

Many of my pieces have a hammered texture. The accents of a single pearl or gemstone remind one of the moon reflecting on the water at night and the gold accents of the sun's afternoon reflection.
