Meet the Artist Behind Katherine Prejean Jewelry

Katherine Prejean is a Louisiana-based jewelry designer creating handcrafted pieces from her home studio in the heart of Cajun Country. A wife and mother of four, Katherine discovered her passion for jewelry design in her 40’s — starting with simple beading and growing into detailed metalwork and mixed-material designs.

What began as a creative outlet quickly became something more: a way to create meaningful, lasting pieces that people could wear every day or treasure for years to come.

Today, each design reflects Katherine’s personal style — timeless, expressive, and deeply connected to Southern artistry.

The Craft

Every piece of Katherine Prejean jewelry is made by hand, one at a time. From shaping metal to selecting each stone, the process is thoughtful and detail-driven.

Katherine works with a combination of metals, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, and natural materials to create jewelry that feels both elevated and wearable.

No mass production. No shortcuts. Just carefully made pieces designed to stand out while still feeling effortless.

  • Handmade in Louisiana
  • Small-batch and one-of-a-kind designs
  • High-quality metals and natural materials

Jewelry That Feels Personal

Jewelry is more than an accessory — it’s often tied to moments, memories, and meaning.

Katherine designs with that in mind, creating pieces that can mark milestones, celebrate relationships, or simply add something special to your everyday style.

The goal is simple: to create jewelry that feels like you — something you reach for again and again.

Inspired by Southern Style

Based in Louisiana, Katherine's work is subtly influenced by the textures, colors, and culture of the South. There’s a natural ease to each design — refined but never overdone.

From soft neutrals to bold statement pieces, the collection reflects a balance of tradition and individuality that feels distinctly Southern.
