Katharine Houghton Hepburn

Born in 1907, Katharine Houghton Hepburn was one of the most influential American actresses of her time. She owed her nickname First Lady of American Cinema to her remarkable talent and record number of Oscars. Hepburn had a distinctive style during this period, both with clothes and jewellery.

Independent personality

Katharine Hepburn's fashion style is often described as timeless, classic, comfortable and androgynous. At the time when Katherine Hepburn became famous, her style contrasted with the more formal and extravagant fashion of her time. Her influence can still be felt in modern fashion. Her style reflected her independent personality. She had a confident, no-nonsense attitude and her clothing choices reflected this as well. Clothing and accessories that provide a comfortable and elegant look are still appreciated by women today.

Simplicity and comfort

Simplicity and comfort are therefore beautifully reflected in the Katharine ring from our atelier collection. The Katharine ring is made of recycled gold and contains three gemstones: sapphire, ruby and emerald. The gemstones are delicately worked into the gold ring. Katharine loved minimalist colours, she tended to wear neutral colours. These colours gave her an understated and sophisticated look.
