A few helpful notes on how things work
Handcrafted wedding accessories and jewellery made in my Cape Town studio.
Each piece is handmade to order with flexible design and colour options to suit your occasion.
Help with selecting
If you’re unsure whether different pieces will work well together, don’t worry — most designs can be subtly adjusted to read as a matching set.
Choosing the same metallic finish and pearl or crystal colours across pieces is usually all that’s needed to create a cohesive look. Where possible, I use the same elements and proportions so everything sits together naturally.
This doesn’t require a custom order — it’s simply a matter of selecting consistent options.
Custom design process
I offer custom design work, where new pieces are created or elements from existing styles are thoughtfully combined to suit your colour palette and overall vision.
Inspiration images are very welcome and helpful. While I don’t replicate or copy other designers’ work, I’m happy to use inspiration as a starting point and create my own interpretation in my signature style.
If you’d like to explore a custom design, please get in touch with images, ideas, and any key details so I can advise on feasibility and next steps.
Lead time & shipping
Most pieces are handmade to order, allowing for a wide range of finish and colour options. Dispatch times vary depending on the design selected.
If you are working toward a specific date, you are welcome to contact me before ordering so I can confirm timelines.

Let customers speak for us
from 1240 reviewsI absolutely enjoy my earrings! What is the best to me is that I could choose the color of the beads. I've been looking for crystal drops for 2 years and couldn't find what I want. I am very satisfied! :)
Petite pearl drop earrings with gold plated cubic zirconia stud detail - Nickel free only available in gold and ivory
I must commend Kathleen Barry's attention to detail. What really stood out to me was their customer care. After placing my order, they reached out to confirm whether I wanted a pair of earrings and necklace to match. There wasn’t an option to customise the necklace directly on the site.
However their thoughtfulness to follow-up showed a genuine commitment to getting the order just right rather than simply processing it. The jewellery itself is beautiful, elegant and sophisticated. I would definitely recommend Kathleen Barry to anyone looking for unique, carefully crafted pieces with a personal touch.
The bangle was beautifully made and delivered in plenty of time. Highly recommend
I bought a set of jewellery for myself and my maid of honour. The owner noticed for one set I had selected a specific colour for a pair of earings and confirmed whether I'd like the necklace to be the same colour. I couldn't select customisation for the necklace but extremely appreciated that they reached out to check. It showed me that they care about their customers and their work.
If you're looking for beautiful and timeless jewellery I highly recommend Kathleen Barry, their work is elegant and sophisticated and they care about the finer details.
Excellent service from Kathleen and het team!
Earrings are dainty and very pretty- perfect for my son's wedding.
The earrings are beyond gorgeous. If I could, I would wear them every day.
