Botanically Inspired Fine Jewellery

Kate Smith is based in the world famous Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. She graduated in jewellery design from Middlesex University.
By closely observing forms and patterns within nature, Kate's silver and gold jewellery echoes the objects that she has drawn inspiration from.

Kate Wood makes feminine, ethereal jewellery using fine beading and chain work techniques. Constructed entirely by hand from multiple tiny gemstones, pearls and chains, each piece has a beautiful movement and really comes alive when worn. Her work is admired for its delicacy, intricately detailed finish and lightness of touch.
