Album: Welcome to Catherine Taylor Designs

My philosophy: Women are like jewels, each one is uniquely faceted. My jewelry celebrates the many facets of a woman. May you shine like the radiant jewel you truly are!

My jewelry is created for the woman who likes to express her individuality. She is confident and comfortable with herself, and likes to stand out from the crowd. She enjoys wearing bold color and dramatic pieces, has a sense of fun and whimsy, and is blazing her own trail through life!  

 I am an eclectic designer. I create one of a kind pieces using semiprecious gemstones, freshwater pearls, sterling silver or 14 kt. gold fill, vintage beads and swarovski crystals. I receive inspiration for my designs from nature.
