Catherine Lovelace
Jewelry Design Artist

         

I was first introduced to beaded jewelry work in 1995 by my sister who lives in Newport News, Virginia. Reluctant to work large pieces I began with only earrings, but soon I found myself making a matching bracelet or necklace for my customers. It was the challenge of design, color, texture and overall composition of custom orders that my design abilities expanded and enabled me to enhance my skills. The art of beading is ever evolving and as I continue to work, my ideas and talents expand as well, enabling me to design unique pieces that hold special meaning for my customers. I am constantly learning and in awe of custom designs and combinations of beads that I might not otherwise have crafted.

I have completed custom work for Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mothers Day and Confirmations.
My work has been sold across the US from Texas to Florida, Michigan, New York and points between simply by word of mouth, by referral of customers as well as friends and family.

I pride myself on quality work and want my customers to be completely satisfied. I primarily use sterling silver, Bali .925, 14Kgold filled, Swarovski crystal, natural gem stones & pearls. Other materials such as bone, shell & glass beads have also been incorporated into my designs. I will resize any piece to fit or make accompanying pieces if possible. However, please keep in mind that bead and component availability as well as time can be an issue, but I will make every effort to complete and deliver the order in a timely manner.
Also note some pieces are unique
by design and cannot be reproduced.
I am grateful to my sister for the introduction to beading and to each of my customers for without either I might not have traveled and explored the wonderful & colorful world of beading. I also thank you for your interest and sincerely hope that you enjoy any purchase you may have made. I look forward to new design opportunities and hope that you will keep The Cat's Eye Jewelry Designs in mind with your next purchase for that special occasion.
