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 designs are made to order, allowing for a wide range of finish and colour options.
Because each piece is created individually, lead times can vary depending on order volume and complexity.
If you are working toward a specific date, you’re welcome to get in touch before ordering so I can confirm availability and timelines.

Happy with the quality and the intricate work to make this garter extra special for the day. Happy with the service!
The products look even nicer than in the photos and the shipping service is good.
Thank you so much for the effort. The headpiece was beautiful. Everything was seamless including the headpiece arriving on time.
Kathleen wasnt brilliant from start to finish when I was trying to order a necklace and then a bespoke bracelet to wear on my wedding day. She listened to what I was asking for and sent me pictures when it was done for me to approve before she posted them. I am very happy with what I got and would happily recommend her to others. Thank you so much.
I had the absolute pleasure of buying my wedding jewellery from Kathleen Barry, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I shared a photo of my wedding dress with her, and she completely customised my jewellery to match it perfectly.
The quality is exceptional, and her attention to detail is truly remarkable. You can see the care and craftsmanship in every piece. She made something so special that complements my dress beautifully.
I would highly recommend Kathleen Barry’s jewellery to any bride or for any special occasion. Her work is stunning, unique, and made with such professionalism and passion.
My bridesmaids loved these necklaces as a gift. They are beautifully handcrafted. I got a mixture of both silver & gold to match each girl's preference. Just a note on the gold chains, the prongs are silver but it is still stunning. I love my purchase! Thank you for making my special day even more special x
I wanted an authentic piece made from quality elements and Kathleen delivered! Thanks Kathleen for your patience, advice and excellent workmanship.
Intricate design, beautifully embellished, elegant for a timeless classic look
The jewellery is so beautiful and even better in real life
I ordered a beautiful comb for my daughter's Grade 7 farewell. Despite leaving the order a bit late, it was received on time and was a perfect completion to her outfit. She was absolutely thrilled and we know she'll have years of enjoyment with the item for other special occasions.
Gorgeous
These are beautifully designed earrings, I have not experienced any pain or allergic reaction. Safe to wear, amazing packaging. Love Kathleen Barry jewlery. Ordered more stuff, because they individualise all products with care and love.
