Katiques is the passion project of Hong Kong jewellery designer and entrepreneur Katherine Jay. Born in Hong Kong and educated in Canada, Jay has design influences from both the East and the West. She began her lifelong design journey creating elaborate confectionery arts, but her passion always brings her back to jewellery design. Katiques is derived from the designer's name and the word 'antique', referring to the brand's style. Katiques' style is defined by feminine lines, flowing ribbons with a vintage neoclassical flair. Each Katiques piece is designed and handmade with meticulous artistry. The intricate design details and craftsmanship of each piece showcases each gemstone and exemplifies the unique style of the wearer. Katiques recently delves into experimenting with designs that allow a fluidity of movement, playing with refracted light to highlight the gemstones and diamonds in each piece. Whether the Katiques piece is part of a signature collection or a made-to-order design, it is destined to be a collector's heirloom for generations.
Katiques 是香港珠寶設計師暨企業家 Katherine Jay 創立的項目。Jay 生於香港，在加拿大接受教育，因此她的設計受到中西文化的薰陶。她一直從事設計的工作，從精緻的甜點開始，慢慢因個人濃厚的興趣而投身珠寶設計當中。
Katiques 的品牌以優雅見稱，名字結合設計師的名字及英文「antique」，即古董的意思，作品以純人手鑲嵌，款式中常見柔美的線條，以及俐落的蝴蝶結，設計充滿新古典風格。她的作品在設計及工藝上都顯得細膩無遺，突顯寶石的美態，同時彰顯出佩戴者的不凡品味。Katiques 近期嘗試將流動的韻律融入設計之中，又善用光線的折射來突出寶石及鑽石的光芒。不論是出自訂制或品牌的經典系列，每件珠寶也是讓人愛不釋手的傳家之寶。
