Jewellery to keep for life

We make small pieces in sterling silver and gold, by hand, in small batches, to be worn every day and kept for years.

Karat began at one workbench twelve years ago. We still shape, set and polish every piece ourselves, and we still check each one before it is boxed.

Hallmarked silver

Every piece is tested and stamped, so you know exactly what you are wearing.

Made by hand

Shaped, set and polished in our workshop in small batches.

Kept for life

Three years of warranty, and polishing and repairs for as long as you own it.

Small batches, made to last

How we work

Small batches, made to last

Every piece starts as a drawing and a wax model, then is cast, filed, set and polished by the same few hands.

Why it lasts

Stones set by hand

Each stone is set and checked under a loupe before the piece is polished.

Made to stack

Bands and huggies sized to sit together, so a collection grows piece by piece.

Ready to give

Every order comes in a box with a care cloth and a card for your words.
