Meet The Designer

Catarina Vassalo

Catarina is a Portuguese Jewellery Designer who turned a hobby into a profession in January 2007.

Catarina travelled around the world, trying to find different styles and looks of jewellery and materials. This is reflected in her designs where you will see a variety of materials from Indian glass beads to Moroccan beads, gemstones, crystals, Thai sterling silver and many more. These raw materials are transformed from local styles to modern everyday indispensable accessories. All of Catarina’s beads and materials are bought personally and some of the beads are completely exclusive, made for her by friends during her travels.

Catarina loves the personal contribution she has found as a jewellery designer both in choosing the beads and designing her pieces, CV Jewellery is exclusively crafted and we hope you enjoy wearing them as much as Catarina enjoyed making them.
