There was a character from an old soviet cartoon called “The Blue Puppy”, rather a tragic figure. In my childhood everyone used to giggle when hearing Puppy’s tragic song “I was hurt by evil fate, oh why am I blue!” because “blue” as an adjective was widely used in russian slang to mean “homosexual”. Well, this new puppy on my earrings is not hurt by evil fate, he went through therapy and he feels perfectly fine with who he is, living his best life blinking lazily at us with his pink swarovski eyes.

Katia will go “all in” when creating a custom order for a client. Blackened silver portrait of your pug you can wear on your finger? Easy. Turn your child’s drawing into a brooch. No problem. Depict your kids as funny monsters and make them into a unique piece of jewelry. Sure, why not!

Jewelry Designer and Artist- Katia Rabey, ' Rabeyka' Wearing her big pink arc necklace stating to everyone that her originality is definitely not a phase.

She once created her own wearable self-portrait! The best part is both Katia and her portrait pendant can have the same earrings to match. Jeeze even her giant pendant has earrings? how cool is that?

Katia loves when pieces are interactive - you can play with them, change them, rotate parts, etc. There are mono-earrings with funny characters whose heads you can swap creating weird new hybrids, there are colorful signet rings with rotating flowers, there is a gender-bender brooch with rotating parts that help you create new genders; and there is, of course, utterly craze and spectacular “Silly Village” series where each piece depicts life stories of silly people.

Katia's Forte are big colorful pieces, letters, words and funny characters. Handmade from metal and then powder-coated with industrial paint, used in auto production.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Rabey challenged herself to create one ring a day using only the things she could find at home. She made a total of 80 rings without missing a day!

Katia does conceptual work. For instance, this piece talks about eating disorders and guilty pleasures: the weight of gold in this pendant is equivalent in price to the amount the artist spent in Mcdonald's while stress-eating.

In this piece, Katia recreated a famous work by Rosea Lake “Judgements” but moved it up to the cleavage area. What does a cleavage size (and jewelry style) say about a woman? Wrong answers only!
