Our Story
Established in Oslo in late 2025, KATRA is an independent jewelry studio dedicated to the intersection of raw mineralogy and modern form. We reject the noise of mass-production in favor of what is real: the weight of sterling silver and the deep history of natural stone.
KATRA jewelry is not created for trends or mass appeal. In a loud, overstimulated world we go back to what is real — a need for real beauty, real materials. We don’t merely decorate, but let the material speak and tell its story through form, texture and time.
STONES & THE STORIES THEY HOLD
“I have always been drawn to the chemistry and history held within a stone. What began as a private collection of minerals evolved into a realization: jewelry is the perfect vessel for wearing a landscape.
To me, every mineral evokes a specific association—the breath of a forest, the light of a distant shore, or a dreamy, imaginary place. I view every piece created in the KATRA Studio as a “Captured Story”.
My goal is to find the exact combination that honors these associations, turning jewelry into a talisman that resonates with your own inner world.”
— Katia, Founder & Artist
Whether you are at home, in your studio, or at the office, KATRA pieces are designed to accompany moments of your everyday — grounding, elevating, and celebrating the self in subtle but unmistakable ways.
THINGS THAT MATTER
AUTHENTIC MATERIALS
The natural variation is a part of natural stone’s beauty that makes each piece of KATRA jewelry unique. Sourcing from trusted suppliers ensures authenticity of our materials.
ENDURING QUALITY
KATRA jewelry is designed with longevity in mind. Each piece is thoughtfully constructed for comfort and strength. Slow fashion is at the core of our creative process and finished product: making fewer, better pieces that will last.
LIMITED QUANTITY
Each piece of KATRA jewelry is designed, assembled or made by hand. This approach ensures a consistent level of craftsmanship and precision. Producing on a small scale allows you to own something special.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
WHERE AND HOW KATRA JEWELRY IS MADE?
All our jewelry is designed, hand-assembled or handmade in our studio in Oslo. Every component we use, created or sourced, passes our very human quality assurance system — based on our eyes, skills, knowledge and technology, and testing methods.
WHERE DO YOU SOURCE MATERIALS?
We source materials from various suppliers specializing in natural stone around the world, as well as cooperate with professional lapidaries to create custom items based on our designs.
IS TAX INCLUDED IN PRICES ON YOUR WEBSITE?
All prices in our Boutique are final. The price you see is the price you pay. Additional taxes may apply when shipping internationally. We advice you to get this information from your local courrier.
DO YOU RESTOCK?
As of now we do not restock most of our sold-out items. We enjoy limited production that is dictated by materials we think are interesting to use and are available from our suppliers. Once a specific “story” is sold, it is gone.
