cathy waterman

Founded in 1990, Cathy Waterman is a California-based fine jewelry house celebrated for its lyrical, feminine, and ethereal designs. A former film producer, Waterman transitioned to jewelry design by first creating pieces for herself. The brand is defined by its deep connection to nature, with signature motifs like leaves, thorns, and vines rendered in high-karat 22k gold and platinum. These designs often incorporate ethically sourced, hand-selected diamonds and gemstones. Each piece is handcrafted in Waterman’s Los Angeles studio, reflecting a commitment to artistry and sustainable practices, including the use of recycled metals. The brand has garnered a loyal following, including high-profile wearers like Michelle Obama, whose inaugural necklace is now in the Smithsonian, and celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Beyond the red carpet, Waterman’s collections, including a notable bridal line, are sought after for their timeless, personal quality that eschews fleeting trends for lasting, meaningful beauty.
