Founded in 2008 by Greek-American gemologist Maria Ress, Kastel Jewelry is a Chicago-based fine jewelry line born from a desire to create personal, story-driven pieces. Drawing inspiration from her Greek heritage and worldwide travels, Ress designs jewelry that aims to empower its wearer, blending timelessness with a contemporary edge. The collections are known for their bold use of colorful and unique gemstones, including sliced diamonds, lapis lazuli, and labradorite, all personally sourced by the founder. Each piece, crafted from materials like 14k and 18k gold, is intended to be a narrative object that connects with the individual.
