Handmade in Northern California, this charming brass frame and clay polymer brooch is the perfect contemporary piece of jewelry to complete your outfit. The designer of Clouds + Ladders jewelry, Kate Joseph, is inspired by her love of modern art and design to create contemporary wearable art pieces. She carefully solders, fills, sands, and finishes each piece by hand in her bright, colorful, and slightly chaotic solar-powered studio in a redwood forest north of San Francisco. For this collection created for the de Young, she says "Inspired by Ruth Asawa’s sculptures at the de Young, I chose colors from my own garden to represent Asawa’s love of gardening and reflect the wire that she used.” Measures 2 x 1 in.
