Katerina Perez
- Katerina Perez is a jewelery insider, journalist and brand consultant with more than 12 years’ experience in the jewelery sector. Russian-born and Paris-based, Katerina has worked as a freelance journalist and content editor since 2011, writing articles in both English and Russian for international publications including Vogue Arabia, VO +, Robb Report, L’Officiel, the Natural Diamond Council, and Kommersant.
She discovered her appreciation for fine and luxury jewelery while working ‘offline’ for Tiffany & Co., Chaumet, Asprey and Boghossian, and her interest in and passion for the art of jewelery has only strengthened with time.
Katerina founded her own website – katerinaperez.com – and launched her Instagram platform in 2013 and has since become one of the most highly regarded and authoritative influencers in the fine jewelery space. She is hailed as being one of the first writers to bring high jewelery online, combining her own impressions and opinions of new collections with jewelery trends, watch insights, colored gemstone stories and original photography. Much of this photography can be found on Katerina’s Instagram – @katerina_perez – which provides a community for more than 370,000 jewelery lovers, customers, brands and designers. Drawing on this knowledge of engaging and entertaining a global following, Katerina regularly works as a brand consultant, collection curator and educator to offer best-practice guidance to the jewelery sector.
Katerina has been recognized in trade magazines and the consumer press, notably The New York Times, L’Officiel, Tatler, JCK and The Financial Times. She has also served as a guest panellist, lecturer, judge and keynote speaker at various international events, including Vicenzaoro, International Jewelery London and COUTURE Las Vegas, and has delivered educational talks at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). In 2021, she was presented with the World Influencers and Bloggers Association (WIBA) Award for Jewelery Influencer of the Year. Even with this ongoing success, Katerina has never lost sight of her mission to make as many women as possible fall in love with jewelery, just as she did, and to show her readers and followers that jewelery is an art form, not merely a form of self-adornment.
