About Karat

Crafting Elegance Since 1998

Founded in 1998, Karat is a premier manufacturer, wholesaler, and exporter with over 25 years of excellence in the jewelry industry. We blend decades of traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation to create pieces of timeless beauty and exceptional quality.

We take pride in our local production workshop and our dedicated team of designers who specialize in crafting exquisite 14K and 18K gold and platinum settings. While we have built our reputation on the world’s finest pearls—including Japanese Akoya, Freshwater, South Sea, and Tahitian Natural Pearls—we are committed to evolving with our clients.

Embracing the Future: Lab-Grown Diamonds In recent years, we have successfully expanded our expertise into the realm of Lab-Grown Diamonds. By combining these ethically sourced, high-brilliance stones with our signature craftsmanship, we offer our clients a modern, sustainable choice without compromising on luxury or quality.
