“Jewellery designed by women, worn by women”
Our Story
Varney Polydor, Creative Director
Kohatu + Petros was established in 2006 when demi fine jewellery did not really exist. Looking for fashion forward, affordable jewellery to wear everyday was almost impossible to find, so K+P decided it was time to change the focus and design just that. Kohatu +Petros is an independent jewellery boutique with authenticity, elegance and style at the heart of the brand. Each season Varney designs with new, exciting colour combinations and materials inspired by art, fashion and new season trends. Using semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver and gold vermeil, the collections are designed and handcrafted in the U.K. The designs are desired by her customers for their beauty, individuality and accessibility.
What customers are saying…

“Being a busy Personal Stylist in London it's hard to find interesting jewellery that is different and gives instant impact to any outfit. Working with Kohatu and Petros continues to solve that problem. Not only is it well made but it's on trend and adds that wow factor!”

“I was recently introduced to Kohatu + Petros hand made jewellery. I bought a necklace. Since purchasing the piece I have worn it almost constantly, it is very versatile and I am regularly complimented on my neck wear (thank you Varney) I have also bought the gemstone bracelets which are ideal as gifts. Varney is delightful to deal with and I believe has a great eye for detail and style..”

“I have been wearing Kohatu & Petros jewellery ever since they launched and I just love their evolving collections. I find the purchase of a beautiful necklace and earrings update my seasonal ‘look.’ Kohatu & Petros design knowing the colours and shapes that are 'in Vogue’ at any given time. It is important to my job that I look up to the minute, however, what I wear must be of excellent quality. I also buy presents for friends and family who appreciate the fact they are receiving a gift of genuine stones which have been handcrafted. It is a treat to shop regularly with Varney who has a great eye and a wonderful approach to her business...”

“For me, Kohatu and Petros manages to bridge the tricky divide between being completely on-trend when bought, and then remaining as classic items in your jewellery arsenal for ever. K&P's handmade jewellery has become something of a minor but very pleasurable addiction. It is carefully designed to enhance your wardrobe and is infinitely wearable. There is great attention to detail - clasps work, necklaces are often available in different lengths. Varney has a great eye and you can always rely on her help to use K&P jewellery to pull any outfit together.”
