KOri – handmade in Ostend
KOri, where every piece of jewelry tells a unique story.
I am Katrien, born and raised in Ostend, deeply rooted in this city like a fragment of old Testerep.
After 44 years, I still live here with my two sons, inspired every day by the sea, the city and its ever-changing light.
Three years ago, I founded KOri Handmade, guided by my passion for craftsmanship and creativity.
Like the tides that constantly shift, my creations are never the same.
Each piece is unique, influenced by my search for new materials, new techniques and new inspirations.
Sometimes a jewel is born through collaboration with you, sometimes simply carried by the inspiration of the moment.
KOri – unique jewelry, created with love and craftsmanship.
I work with silver, bronze, stainless steel, leather, natural stone and resin.
I also incorporate natural elements such as bones, porcupine quills and scarab beetles, dried in the open air.
My sterling silver comes exclusively from certified and local suppliers, as quality and durability are essential to me.
Natural products mean ethical products.
KOri Handmade is much more than a jewelry brand.
It is an authentic approach centered on artisanal creation and the value of handmade work.
Each piece is crafted with care, in balance between material, story and emotion.
I believe in imperfect beauty, which does not seek perfection.
Silver reveals its marks of life, and recycled materials find a new brilliance.
KOri embodies both strength and softness, singularity and sincerity.
KOri Handmade creations are made for those who wish to express their identity -
not to adorn themselves, but to express and connect with who they truly are.
Looking for a unique piece, a custom-made jewel, or simply something that truly reflects you?
