International shipping from Israel is temporarily unavailable, so I have suspended the store's operations. Stay tuned and follow me on Instagram — I'll be back soon
JEWELRY DESIGNER & YOUR FRIEND
Jewelry that serves as entertainment as well as decoration
Hi! My name is Katia Rabey, I am the artist, designer and maker behind RABEYKA jewelry.
My work blends vibrant color, playful forms, and personal meaning. Basically, I create jewelry that I myself would like to wear - and isn’t that something any of us would do? I used to study literature, so I put words everywhere; I love illustration, so my pieces often have little creatures or faces or just eyes on them. I enjoy kinetics, so some of my works can be played with. I grew up in Russia, so in order to compensate for that, I put bright colors everywhere and try to promote peace and love with my jewelry. My tools of choice are CAD and a sense of humor, but I also like working manually both with precious and not-so-precious materials.
Welcome to my colorful corner! If you find something to your liking, then we’ll probably be great friends:)
You’ve got questions? Let’s unpack!
faq
Which countries do you ship to?
Due to shipping restrictions I do not ship to UAE, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, Kuwait, Pakistan, Sudan and Malaysia. Apart from that, I ship worldwide. However, certain countries (for example Russia) may encounter difficulties with completing the online payment due to circumstances beyond my control. If this is your case, you are welcome to contact me via email and we will figure something out!
How long does shipping take?
The shipping time varies depending on the option you choose. For international shipments, it can be regular shipping (estimated time 14-18 days) or more pricey DHL shipment (3-5 days). For deliveries within Israel I use a private delivery company HUPU Deliveries that will get your order to you in a few days - or you can choose the free option of self pickup from our studio in Tel Aviv! BUT please note that aside from shipping time you have to take into consideration production time, which can take up to 21 business days, since I produce every order individually. So, if you’re looking to buy a present for a specific date, plan ahead!
How will my jewelry be packaged?
All my pieces come in cute little boxes with a logo - and yes, they are good enough to use them as gift boxes if you’re buying a piece for someone else:)
Which payment methods do you accept?
For Europe and other countries: My website offers online paymentvia AllPay — a fast and secure system available in most countries (except Russia). Payments are processed in NIS, but you can pay in any currency — your bank will automatically convert the amount.
Please note: the currency converter on our website is for reference only — actual rates may slightly differ.
For Russia: Please contact me via email, attach a screenshot of the selected item and its options, and I’ll send you the payment details.
Can I return or exchange an item?
Yes of course! I will be happy to make an exchange in case you realized you ordered the wrong size (can happen to anyone!) The exchange will be free of charge, apart from the delivery fees. If you received the item and within two weeks decided that you changed your mind and don’t want it anymore - you can also return it and be reimbursed (apart from the delivery fees).
Do you give a warranty?
While I usually do not provide a printed warranty (but I can do it upon request), I will repair or replace your jewelry piece within a year from the time of purchase - free of charge, but only in case the damage occurred due to a fault on my part - for example, the stone was accidentally set too loose and fell off, or the air bubble in casting caused the piece to break (these things are rare, but they happen). In all other cases or after one year from purchase I will be happy to repair your piece for a fee. And you are also welcome to pop by my studio in Tel Aviv for a yearly maintenance (cleaning/polishing renewal) in case your piece needs it!
How can I choose the right size?
You can also measure the ring by cutting a strip of paper approximately 5 mm wide and 100 mm (10cm) long, wrapping it around your finger, glueing it together and cutting off the extra paper. After you have your paper ring, check if you can take it off and put it on (some fingers have wider knuckles so you need to consider that), and if everything’s fine, cut the paper ring at the seam, flatten out the strip and measure its length. The result will be the circumference of the ring, and you can translate it into a ring size with the help of the size chart.
If you want to order a ring as a surprise for someone and you need to find out their size, the best way is to borrow a ring from them that you know fits them well (and specifically fits the finger you want them to wear your gift on) and bring it to any jewelry shop for measuring.
The other methods are less accurate, but I will still name a couple that helped my customers over the years.
If you already have a ring that fits you (or the person you’re buying the ring for) well then you can put it on top of a ruler (important - measure in millimeters, not inches) and see how many millimeters you have between the inner sides of the ring. The diameter in millimeters will be your size. For that purpose the ring needs to be regular round shape and not too chunky, otherwise the calculations won’t be too precise.
Finding out your correct finger size when ordering a ring is crucial.
If you are ordering a ring for yourself, my best advice is to go to any jewelry store and ask them to measure your finger - they will do it for free.
Or you can shop online for a ring sizer (see here on the illustration) - a bunch of cheap metal or plastic rings with size marked on each. Then you will be able to measure not just your fingers, but also the fingers of all your friends and loved ones and always gift them rings in the correct size:)
How can I take proper care of my piece to make sure it lives a long life?
Jewelry can live a very long life and be passed from generation to generation if you take good care of it. To my silver jewelry the usual rules apply: avoid contact with home cleaning products or chemicals, clean it occasionally with silver cleaning products, when not wearing store it in a dry closed container to slow down oxidation process. Both silver and gold pieces don’t like to be bumped on things, it can leave marks, or if your piece is thin and dainty - even damage or break it. If your ring has a gemstone in a prong setting, avoid putting pressure on it - don’t rummage in your bag for too long or carry heavy bags while wearing it, and if possible avoid sleeping in it. With my enamel pieces the same rules apply, but in addition - don’t expose them to open fire, and if you have one of my enamel shank rings (like the ones from Bonbonia collection for example) try not to wear them all the time together with chunky metal rings. It’s ok if you occasionally mix and match them or stack them with other rings, but if they will be constantly bumping into other metal rings, even on the finger next to them, enamel can eventually crack.
Also, if you professionally or as a hobby work with heavy machinery or woodworking tools or any sort of grinding/sanding tools - please take your rings off before!
Where can I find your works offline?
You can find some of my things in these stores: Russia:
And if you’re in Israel, you are welcome to pop by my studio in Tel Aviv (52 Moshe Dayan street) - just let me know in advance so we could arrange the time.
Can I make a custom order?
Yes, I will be happy to create a custom piece for you! Custom orders can take longer to produce, up to 2 months, but you are very welcome to contact me via email and we will set it up! Prepare the following information: what metal and karat, which stones you want to use (if at all), what are the design references or general idea behind your custom piece, in case of a ring - ring size. Custom orders are paid for after you approve the design in one or two installments. When creating a custom design for you I make simulations in 3D software - first two demos are included in the price of the order, additional simulations are paid for separately.
