Katherine Prejean
A native of south Louisiana, Katherine’s attraction to beautiful things began early in life, when she discovered her Mom’s closet full of fashionable dresses, shoes, and jewelry. As a child she would spend hours playing ‘dressup’ with items from her mother’s closet. Often inviting friends and cousins to play along and model the outfits for a Fashion Show.
When she was introduced to creating jewelry in 2007, it was an instant love affair. Even today, the artistic possibilities of creating metal jewelry still fascinates and excites her. What fascinates her most, is that a piece of jewelry looks and feels different depending on who wears it. I love creating pieces that not only help elevate someone’s confidence, but it becomes part of their own beauty.
She creates all her jewelry pieces from her home studio in South Louisiana, the Heart of Cajun Country. Using metals as the main focal point in her pieces, along with age old techniques and a selection of traditional bench tools and soldering technique she creates pieces one by one. Semiprecious stones, pearls are often used in her designs.
Katherine continues to develop her style by incorporating new techniques to create beautiful jewelry that is engaging, sophisticated, inviting, well-crafted.
