ABOUT
Martin Katz

Beverly Hills jewelry designer Martin Katz has been recognized for his incomparable artistry and unparalleled taste for over three decades. Martin’s design aesthetic draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of vintage jewelry, especially the Art Deco style, earning him wide acclaim for designing “contemporary jewelry with an old soul.” Diverging from the conventional path followed by most jewelers.

Martin’s creative process commences with a single stone. Each piece bearing the Martin Katz signature is meticulously handcrafted, either one-of-a-kind or produced in limited edition, and signed and numbered.

A true pioneer, Martin shattered the barriers of the Hollywood Red Carpet in 1992, becoming the first independent jeweler to step onto that international stage. This bold move revolutionized the way jewelry was seen and paved the way for an illustrious career.

Over the years, Martin has adorned international global figures as well as over 500 celebrities including Sharon Stone, Salma Hayek, Sterling K. Brown, Kylie Minogue, Kieran Culkin, Joey King, Sandra Bullock, Angela Bassett, Christina Ricci, Kate Winslet, Zoe Kravitz, and Nicole Kidman, among many others. His jewelry has found its way into the collections of the world’s most discerning collectors and enthusiasts, from heads of state to captains of industry.

Martin’s design prowess extends beyond jewelry, as international brands eagerly seek partnerships and collaborations with him paving the way for iconic creations such as Victoria’s Secret’s $5 million black diamond Fantasy Bra, Ray-Ban jeweled sunglasses, and Estee Lauder’s $1 million DKNY Golden Delicious perfume bottle.

After twenty-one celebrated years in his Beverly Hills boutique, Martin recently embarked on a new chapter by relocating to a private Penthouse Atelier in the historic Fred Hayman building. This marks another milestone in a journey that continues to define modern glamour in high jewelry – known by those who know. Jewels. Like No Other.

“I have always enjoyed creating beautiful feminine pieces. My wife Kelly is my muse. She continues to be a source of inspiration and has been a great partner in supporting me on this journey. I often look to her to offer her perspective on my designs, as she has the same discerning taste as the Martin Katz clientele. Her style is tasteful and definitive.”
