Kit Heath
Kit Heath Jewellery at OD's Jewellers
Kit Heath is one of Britain’s most recognisable sterling silver jewellery houses, celebrated for sculptural design, soft flowing lines, and everyday wearability. Founded in Devon in 1984, the brand blends craftsmanship, meaning, and modern British style across necklaces, earrings, bracelets, bangles, and rings. Each piece is crafted in premium 925 sterling silver, often finished with rhodium plating for long-lasting shine and anti-tarnish performance, with selected styles elevated by 18ct gold plating for warmth and contrast.
Signature collections such as Infinity, Bevel, Serenity, and Coast Pebble express themes of love, connection, calm, and nature through distinctive silhouettes and balanced proportions. Whether you’re looking for a meaningful gift or a timeless everyday piece, Kit Heath jewellery offers refined British elegance with practical durability.
Every piece is hypoallergenic, AnchorCert Protect accredited, and produced with strict ethical standards. To explore the brand’s heritage, craftsmanship, and cultural story in full, read our Kit Heath Brand Guide.

British Heritage & Devon Origins
Kit Heath began in North Devon in 1984, when siblings Kit Heath and Katie Nickell launched their first silver designs from a VW campervan. Four decades later, the brand remains family-led, retaining its independent British identity while evolving into a nationally celebrated jewellery house. Its values—trust, opportunity, connection, and consideration—continue to shape every collection.
Materials, Plating & Skin Safety
All pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver and hallmarked in the UK for authenticity on items above 7.78 g. Rhodium plating is widely used to reduce tarnish and maintain long-term brightness, while selected pieces feature 18ct yellow or rose gold plating for warmth and tonal richness. AnchorCert Protect accreditation confirms each piece is tested free from 17 known metal allergens, including nickel, making the collection suitable for sensitive skin.
Ethical compliance includes REACH regulations, Responsible Jewellery Council guidelines, and full UK and EU product safety standards.
Gemstones, Pearls & Finishing
The brand incorporates ethically sourced semi-precious gemstones, synthetic stones, and cultured freshwater pearls. Baroque pearls are intentionally selected for their organic, naturally irregular beauty—reflecting Kit Heath’s “perfectly imperfect” design philosophy. Every jewellery piece is carefully hand-finished to preserve its sculptural clarity and smooth contouring.
Collections, Awards & Cultural Influence
Kit Heath’s key collections include: Infinity (lasting bonds), Bevel (architectural curves), Coast Pebble (organic coastal inspiration), and Serenity — winner of the Professional Jeweller “Silver Jewellery Collection of the Year 2024.”
The brand’s cultural reach includes collaborations like the HELLO! Magazine Happiness Necklace, seen on Lorraine Kelly, Frankie Bridge, and Denise Lewis, and the Smart Works charity partnership supporting women into employment.
Care, Warranty & OD’s Aftercare
Rhodium-plated pieces require only occasional polishing with a soft cloth. Gold-plated designs are best worn moderately to preserve plating depth. Kit Heath provides a two-year guarantee covering manufacturing and material defects. OD’s Jewellers offers in-store cleaning, jewellery checks, warranty processing, and expert styling support across the full collection.
