Made with intention
Red Desert Jewelry is designed and created by Kate Smith, based in Austin, Texas. Her pieces are handmade with lots of care, and all pieces are limited edition or one of a kind. She has a background in the studio arts, yoga and art therapy. An interest in the intersection of art and wellness informs all of her offerings.
Kate holds a BA in fine arts and her metalsmithing education is from Austin Community College, Creative Side Jewelry Academy, Lucy Walker Jewelry Academy and lots of YouTube videos. She marries her love of nature, spirituality, geometry and beautiful gemstones into simple totems with unique vibrations.
Yoga offerings
Kate is a yoga instructor and practitioner trained in the lineages of Hatha and Kundalini yoga as well as yoga nidra, sound healing and art therapy.
