about us
The KINRADEN Manifesto embodies our mission
It speaks to the essence of creating something profound, something that resonates deeply within us and connects us all as one. We acknowledge the need for change, recognizing that our actions today shape the world for tomorrow. With this understanding, we tread forward with a gentler step, mindful of our interconnectedness and responsibility to each other and the planet.
Our jewellery exemplifies this mission. KINRADEN fine Jewellery is crafted by hand and all collections are brought to life using only the finest recycled and purified 18-carat gold and sterling silver and all production is certified by Responsible Jewellery Council.
Our name
Kinraden
Derived from the old English word for "kindred," embodies our belief in unity and interconnectedness. It serves as a reminder that we are all bound together, sharing a single planet and a collective destiny. Our actions ripple outward, affecting the lives of others, urging us to tread with kindness and compassion.
We embrace this interconnectedness through our commitment to sourcing materials with the utmost respect for people and the environment. Our adherence to strict standards ensures that every piece of KINRADEN jewellery is not only a symbol of style and elegance but also a testament to responsible stewardship of our planet.
In a world where everything is interconnected, KINRADEN stands as a beacon of mindful practices, uniting outstanding design with integrity. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a brighter future—one where beauty, integrity, and compassion intertwine seamlessly.
Our pride
Mpingo diamonds
Selected styles are adorned with diamond-cut Mpingo heartwood. These black heartwood diamonds, sourced from our "mine above the ground" in a lush and FSC certified forest in Tanzania, represent not just beauty but also environmental responsibility. All wood used are upcycled from the production of wind instruments and protected through WWF initiatives. The Mpingo heartwood is among the hardest and most durable, materials available. Meticulously cut and polished by skilled diamond cutters, these diamonds promise both timeless elegance and enduring quality.
Our actions today shape the world for tomorrow.
KINRADEN is dedicated to making a positive impact at every stage of our operations. Our belief is that every participant in our supply chain should thrive from their work, helping to combat exploitation of both people and nature.
Our responsibility
Thoughtful jewellery crafting
It's easy to overlook the environmental impact of seemingly small items like jewellery, but the truth paints a much starker picture. The extraction of a mere gram of virgin silver or gold can demand the destruction of a ton of ore, leaving irreversible scars on landscapes. Moreover, this process releases harmful substances such as arsenic, cyanide, and mercury into the environment, wreaking havoc on land, forests, rivers, and even the air we breathe. At KINRADEN, we assert that the method of jewellery production carries as much weight as the final product itself.
Tiny sculptures
At KINRADEN, fine jewellery is conceived with the same meticulous precision and artistic intent as architecture. Every piece is a study in contrasts—balancing the rigor of exacting craftsmanship with a poetic sensitivity to form, texture, and detail. The result is an expression of minimalist extravagance. Every piece of jewellery is a tiny sculpture, appealing to the senses with organic shapes, clear lines, and impeccably interlocked links. Surfaces are highly polished for a glossy reflection or silky matte for delicate softness. Precious metals are occasionally mixed for versatility, and styles may be combined across collections to offer the widest possible palette of personal expressions.
“This is it. And nothing we did was ever this important. To create something so beautiful it would be impossible to pass by untouched; something that will touch us deeply, because it reminds us who we really are – that we are one, infinitely related by spirit and blood. We know enough. Enough that our innocence has gone; we must change our ways and walk ahead with a gentler step.”
