Why Glass?
Glass offers luminosity that changes with light, colors that stay vibrant forever, and a handfeel which can be rare in art jewelry.
Composed of natural, abundant earth minerals (silica, soda ash, limestone), art glass is born from nature, using the same basic raw minerals as quartz and crystals and similarly achieving its colors from natural oxides, such as iron and copper.
In our process, glass designs are fired to 1400°F+ and are carefully annealed for durability.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handmade in Austin, Texas, with a designer's eye for even the smallest details.
Katie who?!
It started with curiosity, a glass class, and a whole lot of ideas.
After 15 years in advertising and graphic design, Katie Heiselberg discovered kiln-fired glass and fell in love with its creative possibilities. Five months later, Katie Kismet was born. That same creative spirit inspired Austin Bolo, bringing a fresh twist to a classic accessory. Today, Katie handcrafts both collections in her Austin studio, creating colorful statement jewelry and not-your-grandpa’s bolo ties.
