From her studio in Central London, Catherine Mannheim creates distinctive fine jewellery by hand, combining 18ct yellow and white gold with platinum, carefully sourced gemstones and handmade beads. Known for her innovative use of coloured golds and refined craftsmanship, her work is both modern and timeless.

Working with traditional goldsmithing techniques, Catherine approaches each piece with precision and deep consideration. “It’s a precise and diligent process,” she says, “highly considered and thought through. I tend not to think of myself so much as a jeweller, but a goldsmith. I like to use the subtle colours of the gold to complement the stone.” This thoughtful relationship between material, colour and form sits at the heart of her work.

Catherine has established a reputation as one of Britain’s leading contemporary goldsmiths, exhibiting regularly at the Goldsmiths’ Fair in London as well as throughout the UK and France. Alongside her collections, she also creates bespoke commissions, working closely with clients to craft deeply personal pieces.

She trained at the Central College of Art before continuing her studies with renowned goldsmith Friedrich Becker at the Werkkunstschule in Düsseldorf. In recognition of her contribution to the craft, Catherine was nominated a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and a Freeman of the City of London.

Her jewellery is held in the permanent collections of Victoria and Albert Museum, The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and The Crafts Council — a reflection of the artistry, craftsmanship and lasting significance of her work.

Catherine welcomes bespoke commissions, including engagement rings, wedding bands and one-of-a-kind pieces. To discuss a commission or arrange a studio appointment in Central London, please get in touch.
