Catherine Popesco Jewelry

Catherine Popesco, a native Parisian, discovered a cache of old stampings used long ago by jewelry makers in Paris. Some were over 200 years old and many were originally designed by Lalique and Picasso. Her jewelry is painstakingly rendered from the original molds and stampings. The brilliant Austrian crystals are hand-set and the pieces are made of either “old silver” or a 14 karat gold finish over a copper base. Her artisanal techniques allow each piece to best exhibit the delicate details of these historical designs.
