About Us
Welcome to my studio. I’m Kathleen, a designer and maker of handcrafted wedding accessories and jewellery, specialising in pieces that feel personal, meaningful, and beautifully made.
What began as a small creative outlet has grown into a full studio where I work alongside trusted apprentices, each of us focused on creating detailed, delicately made adornments for brides around the world. My work has evolved over many years and, along the way, I’ve developed a number of unique hand-making techniques that naturally shape the signature style my brand is known for today.
A thoughtful, handcrafted approach
Every item that leaves my studio is made by hand — shaped wire by wire, bead by bead, element by element. I source high-quality materials from around the world, selecting unique crystals, pearls, florals, and components that allow me to create pieces with depth, texture, and an artistic finish.
Because each design is crafted individually from start to finish, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Each one carries its own character and individuality, reflecting the care and attention poured into its creation.
Although most designs follow a steady production flow, I understand that wedding timelines can shift and unexpected urgencies arise. When a bride is feeling stressed or has a last-minute need, I do my best to shuffle schedules where possible to help meet those timelines — without compromising the quality my work is known for.
Designed to feel personal
I love working with brides who want their accessories to reflect their style, colour palette, or dress details. Custom orders are always welcome — from subtle variations to entirely new designs. You’re invited to send inspiration images, colour swatches, or ideas you’d like me to explore. Every custom request begins with a conversation, and I enjoy turning your vision into something tangible and wearable.
A global studio based in Cape Town
From my Cape Town studio, I ship worldwide using reliable, express courier services. Brides discover my work from many different countries, and it’s a privilege to play a small part in their wedding day. Order volumes vary throughout the year, but each piece is made with the same level of care, and I prioritise clear communication, thoughtful timelines, and personal service.
A keepsake, not just an accessory
Wedding accessories are more than decorative details — they hold memories. They are photographed, kept, passed down, or tucked away as a reminder of the day. My aim is always to create pieces that feel like keepsakes rather than just accessories, made with intention and artistry.

Let customers speak for us
from 1251 reviewsI absolutely love my beautiful hair piece for my wedding! The service and attention to details was above and beyond. I felt helped and cared for through the entire journey. Thank you Kathleen Berry!
The pearl drop earrings were the final touch I was searching for to complete my bridal look. Delicate, feminine, and timelessly elegant, they added just the right amount of statement without overpowering the moment. Looking back at my wedding photos, I know I'll always cherish how beautiful they made me feel on such a special day.
Kathleen assisted within 2 days with dispatching the most beautiful dainty corsage.
Service was exceptional. Piece was exactly what I wanted.

Simple pearl pendant necklace available in Silver, gold or rose gold
I 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.
