Introducing…The Crystal roomJuly 29, 2010
Here at Catherine Best we are always striving to create immaculate jewellery crafted to the highest quality based on breathtaking design. Of course it is not only our jewellery that incorporates these values, we strive to be innovative in every way we can and are delighted this summer to unveil the stunning Crystal room.
Situated as a reception room upon entering the mill in Guernsey the Crystal room is a beautiful spacious area that embodies all the character of Catherine Best Jewellers.
We have had some wonderful feedback from clients already who have enjoyed a coffee whilst falling in love with our jewellery in this alluring surrounding.
The possibilities at the Crystal room are infinite and we would love for you to join us. Whether you would like to showcase an exhibition, entertain clients with a wine tasting or host a prestigious dinner party then the Crystal room is perfect.

July’s birthstone - RubyJuly 2, 2010
The gleaming Ruby should adorn,
All those who in July are born,
For thus they’ll be exempt and free,
From lover’s doubts and anxiety
Ruby is our birth stone for the months of July, long considered one the most precious stones keeping company with other marvels such as diamond, sapphire and emerald. Ruby has a hardness of 9 on the mohs scale, amongst others only diamond and the synthetic moissanite are harder gems.
To the ancients Ruby was known as “the king of the gems” and represented intergrity, devotion, happiness, romance and generosity. According to legend, warriers implanted rubies under their skin to bring valour in battle.
Of course if warriors and battles aren’t to your fancy then ruby is also the traditional wedding gift for a couples 15th and 40th wedding anniversary.

Thanks to London Jewellery Week
We would like to say thank you to London Jewellery Week for producing such a unique and professional exhibition which we attended earlier in June.
We met some great people over the course of the week and it was very rewarding to hear all the praise for Catherine’s internationally acclaimed designs and also for the immaculate craftmanship from our master jeweller, a fellow of the IPG, and our other top class jewellers.
For all of you that visited us at the exhibition, thank you. We look forward to seeing you soon in our exotic mill studios in Guernsey and Jersey to provide the opportunity for you to aquire one of our world exclusive pieces for you or your loved one to cherish forever.

Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Catherine Best blog. After more than 20 years in the jewellery business, I’m still very passionate about designing and thankfully, almost never seem to run out of new ideas. I particularly love working with rare, unusually coloured gemstones like Tourmaline or Tanzanite, which have stunning colour ranges that can take my breath away.
I’m often asked what my signature style is but that’s quite hard to say, as I design for each individual personality I meet, but I hope the jewels shine for themselves.
I hope you’ll enjoy reading more about what goes on at the Catherine Best studios.
