Announcement
I specialize in big light weight earrings because customers were always wanting something lighter. That is when I started incorporating mother of pearl into my designs. My ear wires are very good quality and I have had customers come back again and again telling me that they are surprised how non-reactive these ear wires are. If your ears get irritated when you wear earrings (pierced) try a little shea butter (Alaffia's "Africa's Secret" is my favorite because it is smoother than plain shea butter) or if earrings feel "too heavy" to wear very long, try the shea butter. It will cut down on the friction, and that is part of what makes the earrings feel heavy, or what makes your ear lobes red or "hot" - friction. I use it every day for ease of getting the earring in and never getting ear piercings infected or sore. You will be surprised how well it works.
I have been making jewelry in Santa Cruz, California since 1985. I opened Many Hands Gallery in 1989, then sold it to one of my employees in 2007. It is still in Capitola's upper village next to Gayle's Bakery and has a large selection of my work. The other gallery that carries a large selection of my work is Artisan's on Pacific Ave. in Santa Cruz. There's also a small selection in Moss Landing CA at the Haute Enchilada Gallery. I also have a showroom in my jewelry studio in Santa Cruz at 1111A River St, open by appointment. Feel free to call me: (831) 429-8696 or text (831) 332-2508.

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings epitomize the best of Kate Nolan earrings -- large enough to stand out (in the midst of my chin-length hair), yet lightweight; graceful; one-of-a-kind; and with an antique component (these are religious medals cast from antique components). This was a Christmas present to myself and boy was I pleased!

5 out of 5 starsEverything was the exact and superior quality i have learned to expect and admire in Kate Nolan’s spectacular designs. i’ve been a customer since about 1/2 way through her design career and own so many gorgeous one of a kind pairs. Her attention to design and comfort are superb! The love and care Kate puts into each design and shipping door to door is unmatched. Kate, i’m your forever fan! - Linda Shattuck

5 out of 5 starsKate is such a unique jewelry artist and I have purchased her earrings for several years even way before she had an etsy shop. Every aspect of her earrings are meticulously done with great detail and craftsmanship. When I go to my home town of Santa Cruz, California, I always seek her out to see what she has in store. Literally! Thanks Kate for another awesome pair of earrings! Cheers!…C~

I have always been interested in all things visual. When I could not find jewelry I wanted to wear, I started making necklaces. It wasn't until people asked me to make earrings to go with their necklace purchase that I started to make earrings.
