"Hi Kathleen, I ordered earrings, hair weave and bracelet from you. All were stunning thank you. You were very helpful and genuinely willing to design whatever was required if I didn't already find something suitable in your selection. You also designed and contacted me with the finished product with lots of time to spare and well before the expected delivery date. So absolutely NO stress along the way!"

"Kathleen did such a wonderful job creating my wedding jewellery for me that I recommended her to everyone. She was so helpful in making sure I had exactly the right earrings to suit the shape of my face, the right tiara to compliment my hair style and the perfect bracelet. She was able to match the crystals to the colour of my dress perfectly too, so it just blended in so well. The items she did for my flower girl and my bridesmaids were beautiful - they are being treasured by those who wore them!
She listened to what I wanted and gave great advice which helped me to make decisions on what I had her make. Her service was impeccable and the finished product was not only gorgeous, but also worthy of royalty! When I'm ready to "part" with my tiara, I'm taking it back to Kathleen so that she can create some beautiful jewellery for me using those very crystals. Kathleen, thank you for everything you did to make my day even more spectacular!
Much love, Meegyn Allen"

"My bridal party; 4 bridesmaids, my mother and myself all had our jewellery made by Kathleen. It was stunning! Kathleen was a pleasure to work with; her choice and combinations of colour, beads and designs were amazing. Her service and workmanship was exemplary and was proved by the many compliments we received!

"Hi Kathleen, Ek het aanvanklik gegaan om my rok te laat maak deur Cindy Bam toe ek die heerlike ervaring gehad het om sommer net daar en dan al my juwele te kon kies. Kathleen se juwele is gereeld van tyd tot tyd by Cindy se studio beskikbaar gewees en dit was baie lekker om alle soorte en grootes en kleure te kon aanpas met die gerief dat my rok by my was. Ek hoef nerens ekstra heen te gery het het nie, en ek is van mening ek sou NERENS anders sulke mooi juwele kon kry wat perfek by my rok en my persoonlikheid kon pas nie.Kathleen het tot sover gegaan om my oorbelletjies 'n titseltjie langer te maak aangesien my hare baie lank is het ek gereken dat die oorspronklike ontwerp te kort was vir my. Sy het ook my eie armband gemaak en my vernoem!- voel baie geeerd! Kathleen se juwele is almal handgemaak met bitter baie liefde en sorg en die gehalte is baie goed en ook vir vrek goeie prys. Dit was beslis een van my hoogte punte van die dag om die mooi swart en wit polka dot boksie te kon oopmaak en my juwele te kon geniet net soos die res van my baie spesiale dag. Isabel Potgieter, Upington"

Elizabeth said "My mom had a strand of beads that belonged to my grandmother and we really wanted to incorporate it at the wedding. The beads were special and beautiful, but the string was falling apart and the clasp was broken. We were recommended to Kathleen...our jewllery life saver!
Kathleen took hold of the beads, looked at my mom's dress, allowed us to explain the feel of the wedding and immediately had a feel for what we wanted. As the bride, I had no idea what jewellery I wanted. Again, Kathleen sussed it out and hit the nail on the head, recommended worthy advice re style, where to wear jewellery etc. The best was that she would make up the earings and bracelet for me and that I could then decide if I liked it or wanted to change it etc, there was no pressure.
When my mom and I came to see what Kathleen had created we could not have been more happy. My grandmother's beads had been re-strung and other beautiful beads were added. She also made it versatile so that it could be work long or short. And my earrings and bracelet were perfect, and I loved that I can still use them today for special occasions. I would highly recommend Kathleen - the process is easy, flexible, cost effective and Kathleen is so knowledgeable about beads, design, comfort and style. My mom and I are both so happy that our beads were personally designed for the special day and are very grateful towards Kathleen.

Hi Kathleen
"I wanted to thanks you for the beautiful jewelry you made for our wedding. i just loved the hair piece and earrings and the bridesmaid bracelets were perfect! I sure you took photos before you sent them off but thought you may like some pics of your work on the day. I have already directed two people to your website and will definately send UK people your way!"

“Hi Kathleen.
Thank you so much for making me the most beautiful bridal accessories. They were just perfect, and complemented my dress and look so well. I especially appreciated the fact that you were able to make them for me at such short notice, and have them ready for me to take to my hair and make-up trial. Your warm personality and enthusiasm about my wedding added to the experience. I will continue to refer brides to you, and I still wear the earrings for special occasions!
Thanks again,
Michelle”.

After months of searching for the perfect hair comb I discovered Kathleen's Bead Studio at Bridal show in Canal Walk. Kathleen herself assisted me in tweaking one of her designs to make the perfect comb for my day, her service and attention to detail was amazing and I was very impressed at the speed in which I got my order. On collecting my comb at her shop I discovered that my outfit would not be complete without a pair of her gorgeous earnings, necklace and bracelet, again Kathleen modified her design to suit my body,dress and ideas.
The quality of her products and craftsmanship are outstanding. I was very happy with everything that I purchased from her, it all gave a little bit more sparkle to my day! What makes me even more happy is that I can wear it all after my wedding, her products are not like any costume or bridal jewellery I've seen, it makes any outfit (work or special occasion) just that little bit more special with out going overboard. In fact I wore my full set (bar for the hair comb) on our honeymoon for a romantic dinner out and it was perfect, I received complements not only from my hubby but from another couple sitting near our table to!
Thank you for all the wonderful service and beautiful products Kathleen!
