About Me...

People always ask me how I got started designing and creating my own line of Catherine's Jewelry. I tell them, "It must be in the genes!"

My great grandfather, Allan H. Davis, a true Pioneer, probably started this jeweler-gene in our family. After moving his family out West, he became one of the founding fathers of Red Lodge, Montana. Soon he opened the first Jeweler & Optician shop on Main Street (he also served as the town's Postmaster.) This gene has passed through the generations down to me... as far back as I can remember I have been drawn to unusual rocks and gemstones.

I began designing my own Artisan Jewelry pieces in 1994, and set my first gemstone that Christmas. It was a 10pt diamond in a 14Kt gold floating heart setting; a friend commissioned it for his wife to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. That marked the first time I really thought of myself as a Jeweler.
Since then I have done countless juried and non-juried Art Shows, Fairs, Christmas Bazaars, Town Festivals, and Home Parties. My work is shown in Museums and Galleries around my home state, Florida. After an extended Art Show hiatus (doin' the Mommy thing! LOL!!!) I am happy to be back in the swing of things again. Please check out my calender to see where I'll be - and come see me!!! Mention that you read this and I'll give you 20% off everything you purchase.

On a more personal note - my other 'loves' (besides jewelry) are spending time with my family, raising our precocious, yet charming, 'special' daughter, and caring for our six fur-children: four delightful kitty cats, and two boisterous dogs. My hobbies include: Sims 2, music, theatre, Sims 2, and music theatre! (Check out some of my Sims 2 creations at ModTheSims2) As for theatre, my all-time favorite role was as May Henning in "The Affections of May." I also love to direct! I've directed everything from musical ensembles to theatrical plays. I am a percussionist, the Marimba is my main instrument, and together with my husband, perform on Steel Drums as "Steel Baroque."
