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, languages, traditions and foods.

I am a creator, a storyteller in metal and gemstones, a weaver of emotions into wearable art. My journey has never followed a straight path... it has danced, twisted, and sparkled, much like the pieces I design.

Growing up, I lived in 22 places across three countries. Always the new kid, always adapting, always learning. My world was one of movement, music, dance, swimming, sewing, reading, and endless curiosity. That spirit of discovery still fuels me today.

After working as a computer scientist and IT consultant in Paris and the City, I took the plunge to indulge in my jewellery addiction. I kept collecting jewellery from everywhere I went and became curious about the way it came to life. I therefore went back to school to learn how to make precious heirlooms infused with personality.


I have always been drawn to connection, faithful friendships, warmth, laughter, deep conversations. Life’s biggest transitions have tested me, but in the quiet moments of creating, I discovered a new form of connection, one forged through my craft, through the joy of seeing someone’s face light up when they wear a piece that reflects their essence.

I don’t just design jewellery, I celebrate individuality. My clients are muses, each with a story waiting to be told in gold and silver, in gemstones that whisper their unique truth. My creations are shaped by the way I see the world, through freedom, independence, and joie de vivre.

Working with recycled 18ct gold (18K), 22K gold, sterling silver, natural gemstones and cultured pearls, I enjoy creating desirable 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.
I even received a few awards along the way .



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.

I thrive where creativity knows no boundaries, where the vibrant energy of a flea market or the hush of an art gallery sparks inspiration. From the souks of Marrakech to the snowy Alps, from jazz rhythms to the poetry of movement, I gather colours, textures, and emotions, weaving them into designs that feel like an extension of the soul.

I want people to feel seen, to feel celebrated. My creations aren’t about status or trends, they are about authenticity, about owning your style unapologetically. I don’t seek to convince, I invite people to fall in love, to indulge, to wear my jewellery not just for an occasion, but for the sheer joy of it.

"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".
