September/October 2010

Catherine Best is an awardwinning
jewellery designer
who is celebrated worldwide
for her glittering creations.
Her blend of traditional
workmanship and fashionforward
designs are part of
her success.
“Modern narratives are at the heart of my work. It’s the story that
inspires me - the story of the gems and how they combine with
precious metals.
I’ve been hand-drawing original designs for over 20 years and I still get
excited. It’s the combination of quality materials, original design and
craftsmanship that makes our jewellery so special.
My work has evolved, which has resulted in sophisticated, high-shine
and sweeping contours in the 2010 collection. I’ve also been inspired
by the softer beauty found in nature’s flora and fauna.
I hope you enjoy the beauty of the stones I have hand-sourced - I feel
my 2010 collection is the most innovative and stunning yet.”

Living with the Enemy –
Local Life During the Occupation
Every Tuesday in September and 5th & 12th October
Delve into Jersey life in Jersey when it was occupied in

on in the outside world? The walk takes you through
country lanes to woodland to see the original trenches
built by the occupying forces before ending up at
the famous Jersey War Tunnels. Visit the Gardens of
Reflection, dine in the Sanctuary Restaurant or explore

(Lunch and entrance to the site at own expense).
