Our mission
Karat Goldsmiths was founded to meet a need in the jewellery market that had long gone unanswered: access to purer materials in designs that could be worn every day. We set out to move away from the industry norm of offering lower quality gold with high markups and instead create jewellery that has real value while still feeling modern and wearable.
We found that higher quality and purer materials were often reserved for culturally focused designs, often crafted into heavy, ornate pieces that weren't suited for daily wear. On the other hand, the industry leaders in everyday jewellery were offering lower quality gold with higher markups, sacrificing on both value and longevity.
We set out to change that. Jewellery made at Karat Goldsmiths is jewellery made to stand the test of time and be worn no matter the occasion.
By reimagining what fine gold jewellery could look and feel like, we’re creating a new standard, being one that doesn’t compromise on quality, ethics, or style.
Our Birmingham Store
Come visit our family run store on Stratford Rd, Birmingham. Whether you’re gifting, celebrating, or investing in yourself, we’re committed to helping you find jewellery that you’ll wear and treasure forever.
GOLD THAT LASTS
We work exclusively with 22ct and 18ct gold because they offer what plated or low-karat jewellery cannot: enduring value. 22ct is chosen for where gold purity and richness take centre stage, such as our stacking ring range. 18ct provides the perfect balance for items requiring greater strength without sacrificing elegance, such as our Lab Grown Diamond Rings. All our gold is recycled, helping us reduce environmental impact while preserving the luxury and integrity of traditional materials.

We believe beauty should never come at the cost of violence or exploitation. That’s why we use lab-grown diamonds, offering the same brilliance, structure, and sparkle as natural stones—without the ethical concerns. Every diamond we use is certified by reputable bodies such as IGI, so you can wear your jewellery with pride and peace of mind.
