African Artisan Jewellery

Each pair of jewellery is lovingly handcrafted in our local studio, from the hooks to the smallest rings. 

OUR NAME

Where our name comes from

The name CARU is derived from the old English word “Karo” and evolved into the word “Care” to include the idea of providing, protecting and caring for someone or something with affection and attention. The Welch use “Caru” to express affection and strong emotional bonds between family and friends.

OUR CRAFT

We use a carefully selected range of high quality materials

Materials Include:

  • Raw Brass
  • Copper
  • Sterling Silver
  • Stainless Steel (nickel-free & non-allergenic)

The leather and brass plate is individually cut by hand, and every item is uniquely constructed, resulting in a genuine piece that embodies authentic South African design.
