Thank you for visiting Kate's Trinkets and Treasures.  I am Kate Kaplan and I design and make unique, interesting and fun jewelry in Matthews, North Carolina. I create my works with metals such as copper and brass using cold connection techniques. I also do enameling, and some of my work is with glass and semi-precious gemstone beads, incorporating natural materials such as seed pods and wood into my designs.  All of my fine work is one of a kind. All one of a kind beaded jewelry has sterling findings and is strung on high quality Beadalon™ 49  strand nylon coated steel.  I hope you will enjoy my designs.  Take a moment to click around, and email me with any questions or requests for special orders.
