Hand-set stones
Rhinestone placement, sewing, and embellishment done piece by piece.
About Cate
Handmade clothes, rhinestone details, and a studio built for one-of-one work.
Crystalized by Cate started as a place to make the kind of embellished pieces that feel too specific for a generic shop page — hand-set rhinestones, reworked garments, and small drops made to catch the light.
Cate sources and transforms pieces with an eye for texture, nostalgia, and statement details. Many garments are reworked or upcycled, and every finished piece is photographed like a studio object: close-ups, worn shots, and the kind of detail you would zoom in on from a social feed.
Available pieces checkout on Depop. The site is where the full story, archive, and studio notes live.
What inspires the work
Y2K glam, festival sparkle, vintage rework, and pieces that feel personal.
Reworked & sourced
Vintage finds, reconstructed garments, and fabrics chosen for how they catch light.
Limited by design
Most pieces are one-of-one. When they sell, they move into the archive — not off the site.
