Kate Hockstein moved to New York City in 2006 to pursue an M.A. in art history, having studied illustration, painting, and printmaking since the mid-90s. In 2014, she discovered the art of ancient Etruscan goldsmithing and has since been almost exclusively focused on jewelry design. She launched her jewelry line Arcana Obscura in 2015.
Kate approaches her work from a sculptural perspective and draws deeply from her love of nature, folk art, and the eldritch and macabre. Her lifelong affinity for old cemeteries and Victorian mourning jewelry are recurring themes throughout her designs, which are cast in solid sterling silver and gold.
