OUR STORY
CRAFTING TIMELESS
ELEGANCE SINCE 1999
For over 27 years, we've been creating jewelry that celebrates life's most precious moments.
THE BEGINNING
A LEGACY OF LOVE
AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Katura was founded in 1999 with a vision to create exceptional fine jewelry. In 2009, we opened our first atelier in Atlanta, Georgia, establishing ourselves as a premier destination for bespoke fine jewelry and custom designs. Master jeweler Lee Wiser McIntosh combined Old World European techniques with Southern elegance and modern design sensibilities.
Today, our family-owned business continues that tradition. Each piece that leaves our Atlanta workshop carries the same dedication to excellence that has defined our brand for over 27 years.
We've had the privilege of crafting engagement rings, wedding bands, and heirloom pieces for thousands of couples and families. These aren't just transactions—they're relationships built on trust and shared joy.
In 2026, we're proud to announce our first international expansion with a new headquarters in São Paulo, Brazil, bringing our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship to South America.
