Meet Kate
Kate Eickelberg makes her limited edition fine jewelry in Oakland, California, drawing on inspiration from the natural beauty of the Bay Area and the city grit of her hometown of Brooklyn, NY.
She earned a BFA in sculpture from Pratt Institute in 2007 and has been playing with fire ever since, growing her skills in modern apprenticeships with other jewelers until she was ready to start her own studio. Kate is particularly interested in exploring the idea of preciousness; the things we’ve collectively agreed have value and those that are special just to a few of us. She carefully chooses all of her materials, diamonds and steel alike, with the same attention to detail that can be seen in her work.
The hunt for inspiring materials is fun, but Kate’s favorite part of bringing the beauty of the organic and industrial together is the thoughtful engineering. Each piece is carefully crafted with the wearer in mind.
