Your Story
Jewellery is about memories, occasions, and the moments that shape our lives. I create beautiful, meaningful pieces that reflect the style, personality, and story of the individual who wears them. Each design is crafted with care, using traditional techniques and sustainably sourced materials to celebrate connection and individuality, becoming a cherished part of life’s treasured moments.
My story
My 30-year journey as a jeweller began at home in Shetland, then Glasgow, and on to London, where I worked for distinguished jewellery houses before establishing my own business. Today, I create from my Shetland studio and The Goldsmiths’ Centre in London, guided by a commitment to socially responsible practices and supporting meaningful causes.
Where Stories Meet
Every design is inspired by the stories of the people I create for, and by the rugged beauty and rich culture of Shetland, the place I’ve always called home.
I invite you to explore my collections or let me create a bespoke piece that tells your story.

The personal touch
I reached out to Karlin to create our wedding and engagement rings and had an idea in mind. We had a meeting where she interviewed me and listened in to the ideas I had and she made an absolute gorgeous engagement ring for us. My wife loves the ring so much and it was the perfect representation of my love for her. Thank you so much Karlin for the joy this experience still brings us. You are the best!
Andreas
Fantastic experience and gorgeous jewellery!
Karlin was so friendly and welcoming, providing so much information about her fabulous and creative designs.
Amazing to see such original creations. She’s so passionate about what she does that it feels extra special to have a piece of her jewellery.
Lesley
I can not express in words what a pleasure it was having Karlin design and make my eternity and wedding band! She thought beautifully matched the two rings with my rather ornate engagement ring, which I didn't think would be possible. She has beautifully designed a much loved ring into a well thought out set. i would recommend her to everybody!
Sarah
This year was a significant birthday for me and I wanted a special ring to commemorate the occasion. I contacted Karlin and she guided me through her bespoke service and we designed a stunning diamond ring incorporating materials from a ring I already treasured. I now have a timeless and utterly beautiful ring which gladdens my day whenever I look at it. Her attention to detail and after sales service is first class, I would thoroughly recommend. Thank you!
Claire
If you insist on the finest in beautifully designed, exquisitely crafted jewellery, whether bespoke or from one of her collections, look no further than Karlin Anderson. Her creativity seems boundless (see how she riffs on her native Shetland lacemaking tradition with the Oppenwark collection, or check out her Facebook page for examples of custom work done in collaboration with the customer). And she's a joy to work with. Recommended unreservedly.
Jeff
In a time when the world seems bent on a mission to dehumanise, monetise and homogenise all that we see, hear and think, I am delighted to have found Karlin’s mission to reverse this trend. Warm communications. The hand-written card which came from her with the items I will admit I read with a wee tear in my eye. How delightful that talent and humanity can align in this way. Thank you.
Stuart
Karlin designed the most exquisite and unique wedding ring for me. Karlin sketched out a number of stunning designs. The difficult part was narrowing it down to a preferred option. She carefully considered my requirements and advised on options available within budget… her precision of design and attention to detail my ring mirrored the final design perfectly, and at a very affordable price. I can highly recommend Karlin Anderson Jewellery if you are looking for a unique, bespoke piece of jewellery or even a piece from her own ranges. Thank you Karlin!
Sally
We visited Karlin's workshop & studio in Shetland in July 2021. She was very attentive and took part of her valuable time to carefully explain and show us what she did with her lovely jewellery designs. With my wife's 60th birthday looming in September, I had such a good memory of how she attended us, that I looked on her website for inspiration, and problem solved! She was very attentive to ensure that my gift arrived on time, resulting in a very contented wife!
John
Karlin did an amazing job realising the ring for my proposal, taking time to understand what I was aiming for and gracefully incorporating additional stones as highlights. The whole process was very smooth. I would definitely recommend Karlin for that special piece of jewellery you need custom-made. By the way, she said yes! Thanks Karlin!
