Carrie K. Artisan Jewellery marries artisan-crafted jewellery with playfully provocative design to challenge traditional notions of what makes something precious and desired. We see beauty in imperfection, marvel at the mundane in everyday life and celebrate what is real rather than what seems flawless.
Based in Singapore, Carrie K. Artisan Jewellery was established in 2009 and won the ELLE Awards "Jewellery Designer of the Year" in 2010.
Our philosophy is best articulated through the words of Dr Seuss, who said,
"I like nonsense- it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at all of life’s realities."

CAROLYN KAN, FOUNDER AND DESIGNER
At a job interview a long time ago, I was asked what I would have wanted to be if I were not in advertising. I said "silversmith and jewellery designer." I didn't give it a second thought until 10 years later.
In 2008, after five years as Managing Director of an international advertising agency, I decided to take time off the corporate race to rediscover who I'd forgotten. A year later, I found myself learning to silversmith in Florence. I knew then who I wanted to be and "Carrie K." was born in July 2009.
MILESTONES
Just a year later, in 2010, Carolyn won ELLE "Jewellery Designer of the Year" award. In addition to multi-label concept stores in Singapore, Carrie K. was recently selected by Yuji Yamamoto for his multi-label concept stores, Make One’s Mark, in Japan.
