Kathleen Whitaker at YUCCA brings a quiet precision to our Denver edit. Designed in Los Angeles, her jewelry is rooted in minimal form—stud earrings, subtle gold shapes, and details that feel exact, never decorative.
There’s restraint here. The pieces are small, but deliberate. A thin chain that rests lightly at the collarbone. Studs that read as punctuation—clean marks against the skin.
This is fine jewelry reduced to its most essential elements.
Studs, Reconsidered
What draws us to Kathleen Whitaker is her approach to the stud earring. Not as filler. Not as default. But as form.
The Grey Sapphire Stud feels grounded and precise.
The Foil and Sequin Studs catch light without sparkle.
The Small Sphere, Stitch, Staple, and Stick Studs lean linear and architectural.
Each shape is subtle on its own. Together, they create tension. Balance. Negative space.
They don’t overwhelm. They refine.

Fine Jewelry with Structure
Kathleen Whitaker jewelry at YUCCA isn’t about layering trends. It’s about shape. Placement. Intention.
The Thin Chain Necklace rests clean and minimal. The studs anchor it. Nothing competes. Everything feels resolved.
It’s the kind of jewelry you build around slowly. Piece by piece. Not for spectacle, but for clarity.
