Sundar


Catherine Michiels introduces her latest creation Sundar as the newest addition to her ‘Recognition" Collection. Offered in gold, bronze or silver, the sculpted piece features the figure of a dove flying free with the phrase “Sowing Seeds of Peace” highlighted by a 2 point diamond on the reverse side.

 “I wanted to create something special that would remind the wearer that peace begins within. Finding peace for oneself is an important step towards creating it for the world. My designs are inspired by love, truth, serendipity and freedom.”

Sundar, which means beautiful in Hindi, joins the Mudra, the Lotus and the Always in a collection that has been sought out and treasured by a loyal clientele responding to the aesthetics as well as the theme of each piece.

Catherine Michiels proposes ‘Chic Re-cycle’

“I’ve noticed that women will store jewelry from past relationships
rather than wear them. I think that’s a shame as it means some
remarkable jewels are going unappreciated.
I am proposing a ‘chic recycle’ of those stones into new,
one-of-kind creations.


The diamonds, emeralds and sapphires were all symbols
of the love a woman has experienced in her life.
Why abandon those symbols when one can re-invent them?
As Shakespeare said, ‘ What is past is prologue."

It's all about fair trade


During her last trip to Jaipur in Rajasthan, Catherine Michiels started to work with LADLI a non-profit NGO (non govermental organization).

The vocational training center where abused, orphaned and destitute girls learn to make jewelry was created by Abha Goswami and Shaun Church. Katrina Barker is heading the jewelry department with maestria.

For street children it is the opportunity to have a chance in life, to learn a craft that they can't learn from their parents.

Spending days with the children, working on jewelry project and a new model of handbag was a deep and transforming experience.
