With each new piece of her signature line of handmade jewelry, Catherine Weitzman expresses her love of nature through art, design, and fashion. The work evolves from a lifetime of extensive travel by land and sea. Seasonal accessory collections offer women organic elegance that combines luxury and wearability with the highest standards of craftsmanship. Catherine and Scott live between New York and Hawaii, where a gifted production team manufactures all of their products by hand. While they derive tremendous pleasure from creating the jewelry, their greatest satisfaction comes from sharing it with each individual who sees it, wears it, and makes it her own.


CURRENT INFLUENCES

The ecology of the 5 elements- earth, air, fire, water, space- provides a limitless source of inspiration. Much of our current work consists of precious metals cast directly from objects that we find in nature, like branches, shells, leaves, and flowers.
