About
Jewelry is wearable art.
Jewelry is wearable art. That is why I make it. I began the journey into jewelry design 12 years ago when fixing necklaces and bracelets that my mother had designed, made and given to me. The process of bringing together stones, colors, wires and shapes into a unique, beautiful wearable form is an exhilarating expression of art.
I have many sources of inspiration: my faith, nature, historical art.
Just like painting that began my artistic journey, jewelry design gives me an outlet for my creative desires. What distinguishes jewelry making from painting is the ability to provide an affordable piece of art for everyone. A complete painting requires much more time to create, therefore rendering the value more than a lot of us would like to or can afford to spend. A piece of jewelry, on the other hand, is quite affordable, portable and wearable. Providing wearable pieces of art that can be enjoyed and appreciated by many people, every day is my purpose for Katerina Collection.
UPDATE UNTIL PROBLEM IS FIXED: Etsy has been mis-categorizing some of our items as children's crafts. We ONLY sell items meant for adults. Please keep any items you purchase from us away from children, as they either have not been certified as safe for children, or have small parts that are choking hazards. We have been working to fix this issue, but there are automatic updates done to our shop by this venue that we are not able to undo at this time.
We also have 2 other shops on Etsy currently on vacation:

I have an Norwegian ancestry which influences my design style. I was born in Utah but have managed to live in other parts of the U.S.A. and by chance I returned to my home state. I started working with wood in the early 80's and haven't stopped.

Custom orders are welcome. Some custom orders may require a non-refundable $25 deposit to purchase materials. The non-refundable deposit should not be misconstrued as being the final cost of the finished item. Customer will be notified via convo whether a deposit is required, customer must agree to non-refund policies prior to the starting of the custom order.
When a custom order has been completed the customer will be provided with an active listing link so they can purchase the finished project at the list price, minus any incurred deposits. Some custom orders can take up to 6-weeks to complete.
Information on Viking knit items:
I make the chain using a technique called Viking knitting. It is based on analysis of chains found that were made by the Vikings, and is more of a weave. The result is similar in appearance to a knitted chain. After weaving the wire, I draw the chain through successively smaller holes in a drawplate until I achieve the size, flexibility and density I'm looking for based on the wire gauge used. The resulting chain is smooth to the touch and flexible to differing extents. The single knitted chains are made from a single piece of wire. The double knitted chains are sometimes woven from either 1 or 2 pieces of wire, depending on length.

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
All jewelry will arrive ribbon wrapped in its own fiber-filled gift box. We generally do not include invoices with the shipment unless requested or the order is international/outside the U.S.
Custom and personalized orders
Contact us for any special requests.
Custom orders are welcome. Because of the nature of custom orders (time and materials invested that can not be recouped), no refunds are given for them.
Some custom orders can take up to 6-weeks to complete.
Care instructions
All items are for adult use only. Please keep all items and packaging away from children.
Copper, and to a lesser extent brass, can react with skin oils as well as water. Extended exposure to water and 24-hour long-term wearing of items made from these materials can cause skin to temporarily change color. Additionally, resulting chemical changes can break down the metal structure, leading to breakage of your items.
As a result, please remove jewelry before going to bed, bathing, showering, etc. You can clean your jewelry to prolong its use and keep it looking new by using copper or brass cleaners 1-3 times per month, depending on your area's humidity. For sterling silver, use silver polish. Always keep your jewelry clean and dry.
Additional Shop Information.
