Catherine Marche
Welcome to my exclusive fine jewellery boutique!
Bonjour ! Je m' appelle Catherine Marché. As you may gather, I am from France. I grew up internationally and enjoy discovering new cultures and languages.
After working as a computer scientist and IT consultant in Paris and the City, I took the plunge and indulge in my jewellery addiction. As I kept collecting jewellery from everywhere I went I became curious about the way it came to life and went back to school to learn how to make precious heirlooms.
Working with recycled 18ct gold (18K), 22K gold, sterling silver, natural gemstones and cultured pearls, I enjoy creating desirable award-winning jewellery with simple and organic lines, in which I instil my native "Parisienne" sense of style, resulting in the chic and glamourous French elegance you will be receiving attention for.
"Fascinated by antiquity, primitive, tribal jewellery and the beauty of couture, I love to fuse original ideas with a strong aesthetic, using the craft of jewellery making by combining traditional workmanship and cutting edge technology like photo etching".
Click to see my Awards:
I trained traditionally in goldsmithing, first with an introduction to the bench at Central St Martins, followed by 2 City and Guilds and specialist classes.
I am also an accredited GIA, NAJ and de Beers jewellery professional.
Ensuite, to have a greater knowledge of jewellery making techniques, and hone my skills, I attended masterclasses with master goldsmiths in Hatton Garden, Scotland and Pomellato jewellery academy in Milan.

One of my inspirations is to create happiness by bringing out individual elegance and the glamour of life in a big city and allowing you to express your true inner essence.
I believe that everyone deserves to look and feel simply gorgeously stunning. Because I value individuality, I value the close relationship I enjoy with a client when designing a bespoke piece that will sublimate the wearers' inner beauty and feelings and make their luxurious dream of uniqueness come to life. |
