Kathleen Armstrong

Jewels by Kathleen

I’ve been a lifelong jewelry lover, starting when I was gifted a diamond ring as a young child. I immediately fell in love with the sparkle of the diamond.

In my early 20’s, I started designing gold and diamond jewelry for myself, family and friends. Back then, I had to hand sketch designs on paper as nothing was computerized. These days it’s much easier and I enjoy the dynamic process of creating beautiful diamond and gemstone jewelry.

I work with your budget to create a custom piece that you will treasure.

It was in 2003 when I made the decision to create and design my own line of jewelry. Because of my love for the sparkly, I use only 14Kt gold/fill, Sterling silver, and gem quality — Pearls, Gemstones and Crystals.

My intention, is to create one-of-a-kind pieces that make women smile and feel special. My inspiration comes from the stones themselves, and the beautiful color combinations that they create. I can design anything within this realm that your heart may desire.

I was in several galleries over the years and even had my own storefront.

In November 2024, I opened PINETOP GALLERY, which incorporates many talented artists along with Jewels by Kathleen.

aquamarine testimonial

Jason gifted me a stunning aquamarine for our 10th wedding anniversary over 16 years ago. It was tucked away and nearly forgotten, until Kathleen’s exquisite designs reminded me of the gem’s potential. I am absolutely thrilled with how the setting turned out, and I can't recommend Kathleen enough for making fine jewelry dreams come true. She opened Pinetop Gallery in 11/2024 — be sure to check it out!

Kathleen, this is the blouse I had in mind for your pearl necklace, and it’s perfect. We had a wonderful evening out at the Opera. Thank you for both of the lovely jewelry pieces, and for such a fun shopping 🛍️ experience.
