NEW DESIGNER! Painted Squirrel


Painted Squirrel Designs

The story of Painted Squirrel Design begins in Italy, where Toronto jewelry designer Catherine Durnan spent her honeymoon. In Rome’s Ancient City, she was inspired by the harmony between ancient ruins and a modern, cosmopolitan city. On the Amalfi Coast, she admired the steep, winding stone pathways she would follow down to the natural beauty of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

For her Painted Squirrel Design label, Catherine’s designs are an attempt to evoke a modern-day charm, while unifying old-world elements with nature-inspired organic components. She handcrafts pieces using the finest materials - sterling silver, gold-vermeil, semiprecious gemstones, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals. Created to be worn individually or layered together, her fresh designs have a serendipitous feel, and add charm to everyday outfits.

Moving forward, Catherine is driven to diversify her collections and is continually creating new designs; keeping her collections fresh, new and on-trend.
