Devoted to a life of beauty, Holly Hasson has spent the past fifteen years living and raising her son in Santa Fe, and now moves between the ancient stillness of the high desert and the vibrant, effervescent pulse of Mexico City. Both worlds find their way into everything she creates.

A decade ago, Holly founded Catori Life, building and curating its collections organically over time, inspired by ancient artifacts, mysticism, and the beauty of organic form. Her background in the healing arts and a lifelong passion for gemology infuse her work with intention that goes beyond the aesthetic, each piece carrying both beauty and meaning in equal measure.

She designs each piece with deep attention to form, symbol, and material, working exclusively with reclaimed and ethically sourced metals, honoring the earth as deeply as the craft.

Artist Statement

My work draws from the ancient and the elemental. Desert bone and the waves of the sea, petroglyphs and relics, the eroded geometries of the natural world. Living in New Mexico, I am surrounded by a landscape that holds deep time in its very surface, and that sense of accumulated beauty moves through everything I make.

 

Each piece begins as an act of listening. Ancient motifs resurface, not as imitation but as memory. Forms that feel older than the maker, worn smooth by time and tide. Worked in precious metals and gathered materials, these jewels are meant to be held close to the body, intimate talismans that carry the weight of the elemental world. Jewelry is a private landscape, and these pieces ask to be worn not merely as ornament, but with intention as reminder. Of wildness, of beauty, of the sacred embedded in the natural world.

 

These are objects of devotion, crafted to adorn and to inspire.

 

I work in fine metals, shaping pieces that function as wearable artifacts. Objects with presence, patina, and intention. Each one is developed slowly, until it feels both discovered and made.
