This joyful pair layers a bold floral stud over a gently curving leaf-shaped earring jacket, creating a dimensional composition reminiscent of the natural forms in Ruth Asawa’s work.
Wear them together, or let the flowers shine on their own—two looks in one!
The C+L Asawa Collection was created to accompany the Ruth Asawa Retrospective at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and only a limited number will be available outside of the SFMOMA Museum Store.
"While at first I was drawn to the artistry of the gravity-defying shapes of Asawa’s work, after reading about her I discovered she possessed an admirable human spirit as well. I translated the suspended volumes of her wire sculptures into jewelry by outlining both the silhouettes and interior spaces in brass, while the bold colors make them unmistakably Clouds+Ladders. This collection is both a tribute to Asawa’s singular vision and an invitation for the wearer to joyfully embrace their own uniqueness." -Kate, Designer/Maker, Clouds+Ladders Jewelry
