Agnes Katona Ltd. We are a small family-run business specialising in hand-crafted jewellery, repairs and alterations. We hope you enjoy your visit!

We are a small, family-run business specialising in beautiful handcrafted fine jewellery in 18ct gold and platinum. Founded in 2015, we provide customers worldwide with an online access to quality, fine jewellery manufactured in London. Our aim is also to provide our customers with an unmatched access to a large online directory of jewellery-related services. We like to emphasise the work of London-based goldsmiths and craftsmen, who bring with them artisanal qualities and talents. We also work with a few Swedish craftsmen to vary our items a bit. We believe that if a piece is designed and made with care, it will be worn with love and pride. No work is too small or too complex for our team and the highly trained craftsmen who work with us. We take great pride in enabling our customers the oppurtunity to restore, alter, repair and design their own beautifully handcrafted jewellery; tailored to individual budgets and requirements. We hope the beautiful, handcrafted jewellery in our online shop can give you some inspiration when looking into commissioning your own timeless piece of jewellery. Alternatively, we hope to share in the pleasurable experience of altering and restoring your family heirlooms.

I come from a family of collectors. My mother collected coins. My father collected stamps and musical instruments and I had a massive turtle figurine collection and I suppose jewellery has to be included. So this collection of vintage enamel flower pins/brooches appeals to me on a deep level. American collector Lala Waters took decades to collect these. All enamelled and all flowers. How lovely! Do you collect anything? This is my . Happy weekend! Click on image.

No glamour shots this week. Just workshop snaps. The nitty gritty of tired hands, old knots cut up in the background and new knots in the foreground. This was worn almost every day for a year and has returned to me for a restring. This nice creamy type is the typical vintage type. Not the bleached akoya pearls one sees more these days πŸ’›

And here they are. Restrung as 3 necklaces but with very specific charm or pendant carrier loops and clasps. The antique fob is for visual purposes as my client will be adding on her own fobs in silver and gold. She wanted to upcycycle her beads and allow the clasps to carry different pendants and fobs depending on her mood. The clasps are sterling silver and goldplated sterling silver. You may remember the swivel clasps I showed you that went for goldplating. Here they are now. πŸ’™πŸ’š

Cutting up 2 perfectly knotted very long bead necklaces today. It makes me sad when I have to do this as the knots are strong. But my client wants to transform them into something totally different so out comes the small scissors. Every knot is cut. Sorry to whoever the previous stringer was. No disprespect to your handiwork. πŸ™

The in the Upper part of Kirstenbosch, South Africa are full of and a few as well. Look at that green! Love the name. Like a real velvety malachite gemstone.
Such a beautiful oasis. It also has different types of protea. This is such a happy photo collage it has to be my for today. I have something planned around proteas for the end of the year. If it works out I will show you.

Happy weekend!

You know I love a good . Although I suspect this image is AI ( as it gets flagged as such by FB when I post it) I like the idea of it, which is very much a possibility to make. I come across clients who regularly show me beads, odds and ends, costume jewellery and even great granny's evening bag. This is such a pretty idea to upcyle all into a memory of a loved one or just find things and make it.

I can make this for you.

Doesn't look like much but this 3mm spot of solid gold will become a single gold earring soon. I was asked for a mini sleeper earring for a second piercing. Only 1. Thank you for these miniscule orders too πŸ’› I will show you picture when ready.

Hello Everyone. If you have considered big jewellery work with me please take a look at the following to help you make an informed decision about design work. πŸ’πŸ’ŽπŸ“šπŸ–Œ

* Remounting or design work takes minimum 4 weeks to do. In busy times allow 6-7 weeks per item. This process cannot be rushed.

* All new gold and platinum items go to the hallmarking office for your peace of mind.

*While I welcome email correspondence I do need to see you in person in most instances for big orders. Especially if you are giving me the stones or big, complicated items.

*Estimates are free!

*I take approx 2 weeks to work out a quote. Add that on to time for work please.

*Estimates are valid for 2 weeks only. Please keep in touch even if you decide against the work. I have to re-estimate if you come back to me after 6 months.

*All bespoke items are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for something else as these have been made for you. I have no shop window where I can resell.

* I do however accept old, unloved, broken silver, gold and platinum as part- or full exchange for any work. I examine free and deduct scrap value from any work. Almost every client chooses this.

*I can accept up to 6 months payment for an item. I ask for the same date very month please. You can stipulate a date.

* 1st month payment is when work starts.

If I have left anything out please pm me to query. Thanks so much.

We might have spicy pumpkin lattes and falling leaves here but Southern Africa has lavender lattes and falling purple flowers from the end of September through to early November. This is a favourite for me and no matter how much time passes I miss it a lot. A carpet of popping petals. Visible not just in South Africa but in many Southern African countries too.

This is my for today!

Happy Friday and weekend to you.
