Our Mission

"Empowering Beauty: Celebrating Self-Love, Inner Strength, and Timeless Elegance in Every Woman"

At Katerina Pimenidu, our mission is to redefine beauty through jewellery that celebrates self-love, inner strength, and the natural beauty of women of all ages. We embrace the uniqueness of every individual, crafting pieces that empower women to express their authentic selves with confidence and grace. Our jewellery serves as a reminder that true beauty comes from within, reflecting the inner light and strength of each woman who wears it. With a commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainable practices, and timeless design, we strive to create jewellery that not only enhances outer beauty but also nurtures the soul, inspiring self-love, confidence, and empowerment in every woman we touch.

Our Values

"Sustainability at heart"

Katerina Pimenidu Jewellery is slow jewellery brand, prioritizing quality over mass production. My designs feature clean, architectural lines and diverse pearl placements. Most pieces are handcrafted in Greece by skilled goldsmith, Danai, with final touches and bespoke creations completed by me in The Netherlands.

I prioritize sustainability and ethical practices, using recycled or Certified Fairtrade metals. Most of the pearls in my collection are sourced from farms dedicated to slow production. For instance, our Tahitian pearls come from an organic farm on Tahaa Island, while our keshis and baroques are sourced from a family-operated pearl farm on Manihiki Island. Every pearl is hand-selected by me and my certified pearl grader to meet our exacting standards.

About Katerina

In my mid-40s, having navigated many waves in life, I have learned that being unapologetically oneself is the greatest gift women can give themselves. Our beauty truly shines from within when we embrace our authenticity and stay true to who we are at every step.

 

As a multipassionate, creative, and neurodivergent individual, I have often struggled with choosing one single path in my creative career, as societal norms dictate. However, I now understand that my deepest passion lies in creating stories — whether these are visual or spatial ones; stories that transcend traditional boundaries.


Originally trained in architecture, I found my second passion in jewelry design. To me, jewelry represents the most personal and intimate form of self-expression and beauty. While clothes are a necessity for stepping outside, jewelry is a choice, making it a magical and even more personal form of expression. This belief fuels my creative journey, allowing me to craft pieces that tell unique, aesthetic stories and inspire you to create yours.
