"My
name is Catarina Vassalo, welcome to my Website.
Fashion jewellery has been my hobby, In January 2007 I decide to transform my hobby into my profession.
I’ve been traveling around the world, trying to find different styles and looks of jewellery and materials. On my designs, I use a variety of materials, from Indian Glass Beads, to Moroccan Steel beads, milefiore beads, gemstones, crystals and many more. I try to transform those local styles into a modern every day indispensable accessory.
I buy all my beads and materials personally, and I make it an requirement that all materials are fair trade, or eco-friendly, or organic, or recycled, those are my 4 main points of trading. Some of my beads are completely exclusive, made just for me by friends I acquired during my travels. Therefore there are some items that are impossible to repeat.

I
don't have fix suppliers, I buy from all sorts
of different people and places, some of
which aren't professional suppliers, they are
just artists with little shops, that make
their beads by themselves and who I've
became friends with.
I love everything about my work, starting with choosing the beads and ending in designing my website. Everything is made by myself, each item is design and handmade exclusively by me.
I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do creating them."
Mission Statement:
My aim is to:
- create beautiful jewellery that will make people feel good
- source only fair trade suppliers
- use as much as possible organic, eco-friendly and recycled materials
- produce as little waste as possible and protect the environment
