In this episode, I sit down with Catherine Marche, a French-born goldsmith and designer now based in London, whose jewelry feels alive with movement, color, and emotion. Catherine’s journey to the bench wasn’t a straight path — she began her career as a computer scientist before following her curiosity into the world of fine jewelry.

We talk about how her life of travel and discovery has shaped her artistry, the importance of intuition in both design and business, and what it means to create jewelry that truly reflects the essence of its wearer.

Catherine shares how she built a jewelry collective in Hatton Garden that supports emerging artists, her thoughts on creative freedom, and the tension many of us feel between making from the heart and making for a living.

It’s a beautiful, joy-filled conversation about curiosity, courage, and the stories that live within the work we make.
