I'm a little surprised that I couldn't find a Cathy Waterman thread through search, so I thought I'd start one. Is anyone else here a fan of her work? I've been following her line for about 6 years now and it just keeps getting better.

Can't seem to post pics right now, so try this link:

I love her, but unfortunately don't own any of her pieces. She is on my wish list for future purchases, but would love to see any CW pieces other people have. Great idea for a thread!!

Great idea for a thread!! I love, love, love Cathy Waterman. Unfortunately, the only jewelry store near me that carried it, dropped it a couple of years ago. They said that due to the delicate nature of her works, that they had issues with the jewelry not wearing well.

I have 3 pairs of her earrings that I love! I'll dig them out and post pictures later!

ssc0619 · Jun 29th, 2009, 08:35 PM

ok....the picture is not that good, I'm going to wait until tomorrow during the day to photo my others.

These are Cathy's "Love" earrings--platinum and diamonds. Although the clasps looks yellow in the picture, they are not.

Purchased about 4 years ago.

Great idea for a thread. I also LOVE CW. I only have one piece so far it is a baby love yellow gold & diamond charm. I wear it everyday on a charm bracelet.

I have really enjoyed it, althoguh I am a little bummed that it used to be blackened but with all of my hand washing it has worn off rather significantly. But I suppose that's my fault

.

Anyway...thanks for starting the thread k*d!

I'm happy to see the positive replies so far! Maybe by this time next year this thread will be bursting with pictures from PFers.

ssc0619: Very cute! I can't wait to see your other earrings. It's like eye candy!

I totally lust after her items. But I have no money to buy any :)

ssc0619 · Jun 30th, 2009, 04:10 PM

Pair # 2.....again the pic isn't so great, but you get the idea!

I adore those! So much that I was thinking about getting them with the aquas.

Can't wait to see the others!

Please post comments about the quality!

I also have never been able to see her work in person. The one boutique that is on her website (that is in my area) doesn't carry her anymore. I am in love with these rings, but would be rough on them since I'd like to wear one every day:

Couturequeen: The rings I've seen have a very organic, handmade feel to them. They're beautiful to look at but the millgrain she uses makes them a bit rough on my fingers. I had an aqua thorn ring with diamonds all around and it was uncomfortable for me. I sold it and bought this necklace instead.

The leaves on the side do poke into me a little bit but not enough for me to love this any less.

I recently special ordered a fossilized coral pendant with feather overlay. I'll post pics in a month or two, but in the meantime here's a picture of the matching earrings that are next on my list.

ssc0619 · Jul 1st, 2009, 08:15 AM

k*d,

I love, love, love your necklace!!

H-Less · Jul 1st, 2009, 02:14 PM

k*d-
OMG ...Wow! So lovely. I looooovvvvveeee your CW pieces.

k*d · Jul 1st, 2009, 03:13 PM

Thank you both for the kind words!

Dammit, I had loads of pics but they won't work for me! Over in the Celebrity Engagement rings thread you can find Sarah Michelle Gellars engagement set. It's swoonworthy.
