The Woman Behind the Craft
Meet Cat.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Cat V. Atelier (ah-TEL-ee-yay) — a charming French term that means "an artisan's workshop."
Along with having a life-long love of jewelry, I genuinely believe that jewelry should mean something. After years in the industry, that something for me became founding Cat V. Atelier and creating and introducing to the world, the Alex’s Butterflies Collection — a special jewelry line dedicated to honoring my youngest son’s memory and celebrating his life, inspired by his belief in growth and transformation. Through this process, I discovered my goal is to bring a more personal, expert approach to designing, discovering, and gifting fine jewelry — along with thoughtful, heartfelt gifts for yourself or someone you love.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, honoring a memory, or simply treating yourself, I'm here to guide you to pieces that will be treasured for a lifetime. Every stone is evaluated with trained eyes. Every recommendation comes from the heart.

Alex's Butterflies — Where It All Began
At the heart of Cat V. Atelier is a collection created in memory of Cat's youngest son, Alex, taken far too soon. Every piece carries forward a simple belief: that beauty, love, and transformation are intertwined, and that the people we cherish never truly leave us.
"Love never leaves us — it just changes form."

Why Cat V. Atelier
It was such a wonderful and positive experience working with Cat on a special ring I wanted for my daughter representing her kids’ (my grandkids’) birthstones. We looked at different designs, but then Cat offered a unique idea to incorporate their birthstones, which are Citrine and Amethyst. She acquired a beautiful Ametrine — a bi-color stone showing both colors in the same stone! I chose that option and gifted the ring to my daughter. It’s gorgeous and so special — one of her most treasured jewelry pieces!
Lisa K. Custom DesignNashville, TN · 2024
I am so grateful for Cat’s knowledge and expertise in helping me with an appraisal for my close friend’s large collection of jewelry before an estate sale. It was so overwhelming! I had been referred to Cat V. Atelier by a family friend and we started off with a consultation. I felt so much better afterwards. Cat is lovely — very honest and personable, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my 140+ pieces of jewelry with her to assess. She did an extremely thorough job in evaluating every single item, separating authentic from costume pieces, and soon presented me with the appraisal and a detailed spreadsheet for easy viewing of categories and pricing. I highly recommend Cat V. Atelier for any jewelry needs you have.

Very happy with Cat’s help in repurposing my gold wedding rings and some white gold earrings (I’m a widower) into a stunning new men’s band made with my old 14K yellow and white gold, as well as accent diamonds and adding black enamel, resulting in a bold, more contemporary design. I’ve gotten many compliments on my new band, which still contains the sentimental elements I wanted to preserve. Great working with her.
