The Asawa Collection
for The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

This limited edition collection was inspired by the sculptures of artist Ruth Asawa. What began as a study of form became something deeper: a tribute to her resilience, grace, and unwavering belief in the power of art to uplift.

​

Each design is made in small batches of 50 or less and will not be restocked once sold out.

Holiday Gift Pick

One-of-a-kind, artful earrings—because the person you’re gifting deserves something as unique as they are.

Hi, I'm Kate!

I handcraft Clouds + Ladders jewelry (with the help of 2 talented studio assistants) in my solar-powered studio tucked in a redwood forest in Northern California. I combine the unexpected materials of polymer clay and brass to evoke the balance between soft and strong. My loves of art history and modern design are interwoven to create jewelry that feels both contemporary and deeply personal. Clouds + Ladders is meant to inspire empowerment, confidence, and joy. If you’re drawn to thoughtfully made, wearable art that looks like nothing else out there, you’re in the right place.
