Our story
We started with one idea — that a piece of jewelry should outlast the season it was bought in.
That it should be made carefully, worn often, and passed on.
The beginning
Kayrouze began in 2019 with a single drawing and a borrowed bench. Our founder spent a decade in fashion before deciding that what she really wanted to make was the one thing people kept.
The first collection was three pieces. We sold them to friends, then to friends of friends, and never advertised. The studio grew the way good things grow — quietly.
The studio
Today our studio is a single room with three benches and a kettle. We design, prototype, and finish every piece in the same space, in small batches, because we believe restraint is its own kind of luxury.
We work with two casters — both within forty miles. Our gold is recycled. Our packaging is paper. Our lifetime repair is exactly that.
What we stand on
Small batches, made in-studio. Nothing is rushed because nothing should be. Made-to-order pieces ship in three to four weeks.
Solid metals, never plated. Recycled gold and silver, ethically sourced stones. Every piece is built to be repaired, not replaced.
Designs that don't chase a moment. Our archive doesn't retire — pieces from our first collection are still made today.
From sketch to hand
A piece of Kayrouze passes through four sets of hands — usually the same four — before it leaves the studio.
Every piece begins on paper. We draw, redraw, and discard until the line feels inevitable.
The drawing becomes a wax model — carved by hand, refined under loupe, fitted to the body.
Cast in solid recycled gold or silver by a small foundry within forty miles of the studio.
Filed, polished, and signed by hand at the bench. Inspected twice before it ever sees a box.
