14k Gold Filled
Gold filled is not plating. A thick layer of solid 14k gold is bonded to a jeweler's brass core under heat and pressure, so the piece carries about 100 times more gold than a thin flash plate. That is why it holds its color through daily wear instead of rubbing thin at the edges.
925 Sterling Silver
Solid sterling, bright and cool against the skin. I also offer an oxidized finish, a soft blackened patina that deepens the look of a stack and sits beautifully next to your gold pieces.
Signature Crystals
This is the part I also make by hand. Semi-precious gemstones, real dried botanicals, and Swarovski crystals, arranged one at a time and sealed under UV stable resin that stays glass-clear rather than yellowing. Because the elements are natural, no two are ever exactly alike.
Made in My Florida Studio
I make every piece to order in my studio here in Florida. Small differences in flower placement, stone color, or the depth of a crystal are part of the design, not a flaw.
Made for Sensitive Ears and Skin
My fashion studs use surgical steel posts and backs, chosen for ears that react to almost everything else.
Artisan Frames (Pendants and Earrings)
The statement frames are lead free and nickel free brass, finished with a heavy gold plate for a rich, high-shine luster.
Handmade to order: Your piece is made for you after you order and ships within 5 business days.
Custom sizes: For a size you don't see listed, please allow up to 14 days.
Need it by a certain date? Leave a note in your bag or email kate@katekoel.com. I can often rush an order or suggest a piece that's ready to ship right away.

Hand Made To Order
I am SO in love with my ring! It exceeded what I had hoped it would be and I am so pleased. If you are on the fence, don’t wait- just treat yourself or ask for it as a gift. It is well worth it!
Love this ring! I actually got it shortly after getting the dainty version of it and I sometimes wear them both in a stack. The ring is accurately shown on the website and it is sparkly and wonderful and made high quality materials!
Gorgeous!
its so subtly stunning…a beautiful compliment to just about any outfit
Came quicker than expected, beautifully wrapped, and is absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful and catches the light
I couldn’t be happier with my custom ring. It’s absolutely beautiful, made to the perfect size, and the quality is outstanding. The turnaround was impressively quick, especially for a custom piece, and it arrived exactly as I had hoped. I truly love it and would highly recommend her work to anyone looking for something special and thoughtfully made.
I bought my first Galaxy ring from Kate 3 years ago after seeing it in a national magazine. That first one has held up wonderfully with a lot of wearing. I wanted something a little bigger so ordered and received the Galaxy statement ring, which Kate custom sized for me. I love it! The ring is beautiful in person.
So beautiful!!! I have a similar ring from Kate koel and I constantly get compliments that I had to purchase this ring to treat myself and I’m even more in love!!! Picture does not do it justice!
Gold filled, vermeil, plated: what's the difference?
It all comes down to how much real gold you're wearing.
Gold plated
A thin film of gold over brass or copper. It can wear through with everyday wear.
Gold vermeil
Gold over sterling silver, at least 2.5 microns thick. Better than plating, still a coating.
14k gold filledWhat you get
A thick layer of solid 14k gold bonded to a brass core. About 100 times more gold than plating, so it holds its color through daily wear.
Gold layers enlarged so you can see the difference.
Questions
Are these real stones?
Yes. Each crystal holds real pyrite, black tourmaline, and obsidian with Swarovski crystals, arranged by hand and sealed under glass-like resin. That is why no two are exactly alike.
Will the resin turn yellow?
No. I use a high quality, UV stable resin, so it stays clear over time. It can scratch if it rubs against a rough surface. If that happens, email me and I will resurface it for you.
Can I wash my hands with it on?
Yes, and I encourage it. Washing rinses off lotion and oil buildup, which keeps both the gold filled band and the crystal looking their best.
