"Being
selected for the Houlden Group Designs of Excellence tour is a fantastic
recognition of my work. Particularly being a new designer it is a
huge compliment to have an acknowledgement from the jewellery industry. My big
focus this year is all about breaking into the retail market so to have been
recognised by the Houlden Group is tremendous, and I’m very much looking forward to building on
this opportunity." Catherine Budd.
