Catherine handcrafts her jewellery in La Destrousse, 30 minutes from Marseille
A bridal jewellery designer near Marseille
Planning your wedding in or around Marseille? Our artisan bridal jewellery workshop is in La Destrousse, half an hour from the Vieux-Port. Every crown, pair of earrings or back necklace is shaped by hand by Catherine Fages, master artisan, using fine materials: fine-gold plated brass, mother-of-pearl beads, cold porcelain.
Many Marseille brides visit us at the workshop to try the creations with their dress and hairstyle, or to imagine a bespoke piece together. That's the advantage of a local maker: personal guidance, from the first appointment to the final adjustments before the big day.

Which jewellery for a wedding in Marseille?
Palais du Pharo
Overlooking the Vieux-Port, its gardens above the sea call for luminous jewellery — gold hoop earrings or a pearl-adorned hair comb that catch the light from the open sea.
Notre-Dame de la Garde
For a ceremony at the Bonne Mère, our delicate crowns and drop earrings shine in photos on the forecourt, with all of Marseille as a backdrop.
Les Calanques (Sormiou, Sugiton)
A wedding by the coves calls for boho jewellery that stands up to the mistral: hair pins, hair appliqués and securely fixed headbands.
Château de Forbin & Marseille bastides
In the bastides of Saint-Marcel or the hills of Pagnol, romantic sets in gold-plated brass and porcelain flowers harmonise with the old stone.

Frequently asked questions from Marseille brides
Can I try the jewellery before buying if I live in Marseille?
Yes — Catherine welcomes you by appointment in La Destrousse, 30 minutes from Marseille. You try on the creations, compare them with photos of your dress and leave with personalised advice. Appointments are booked online.
How much time should I allow for a bespoke piece before a wedding in Marseille?
Allow 7 to 14 days to make a bespoke creation, then 2 to 4 days for tracked delivery. We recommend contacting us 2 to 3 months before the wedding to leave a comfortable margin.
Do you deliver to Marseille?
Yes, by tracked Colissimo anywhere in France (free from €200). And if you prefer, collection from the workshop allows a final fitting.
