Horara was founded on a simple frustration: most modern jewellery is plated brass dressed up in expensive marketing. We wanted to make something honest — pieces with real material weight, finished by hand, and engineered to survive a lifetime of daily wear.
Every piece is designed in our studio just off the Goldsmiths' quarter in Hatton Garden, then cast and finished in partnership with British workshops that have been at it for generations. Nothing leaves until it carries the UK assay hallmark — your guarantee of purity, origin, and provenance.
Two materials. No shortcuts. No mystery metals. Here's what goes into every Horara piece and why it stays looking the way it did the day you opened the box.
A thick 2.5-micron layer of 18-carat gold electroplated onto a solid 925 sterling silver base. Unlike standard plating (which can be as thin as 0.5 microns), our vermeil meets the strict UK definition and is built to last a decade or more of daily wear without fading.
Solid sterling — 92.5% pure silver, alloyed for strength. Hand-polished to a mirror finish, hypoallergenic, and tarnish-resistant when cared for. Each piece is stamped with the British assay mark, the Goldsmiths' Company anchor, and the Horara maker's mark.
On select pieces, we set hand-cut black onyx and ethically sourced mother of pearl. Both are natural materials — slight variation in tone and grain is a feature, not a flaw. Each stone is set by hand and inspected under loupe before dispatch.

What customers tell us, in their own words.
"The weight of the Atlas Signet is something else — feels like a proper heirloom, not a fashion piece. Wear it daily, looks better six months in than the day it arrived."James W. — London, verified buyer
"Bought the Meridian Chain for my partner's birthday. Packaging alone made the moment. Three months of daily wear and zero tarnish. The lifetime repair promise sealed it for me."Anya K. — Manchester, verified buyer
"I've owned plated pieces from much louder brands. This is the first time I've held vermeil and immediately understood the difference. Horara has earned a forever customer."Daniel R. — Edinburgh, verified buyer
Honest answers on materials, delivery, sizing, and what happens if something goes wrong.
Yes. We use 18-carat gold vermeil — a 2.5-micron layer of solid 18ct gold electroplated onto a 925 sterling silver base. This is the official UK legal definition of vermeil and is significantly thicker than standard gold plating. Every piece carries a British hallmark.
All UK orders ship free via Royal Mail Special Delivery and arrive within 1–2 business days of dispatch. We dispatch Monday to Friday. Orders placed before 2pm typically ship the same day. You'll receive tracking the moment your order leaves our studio.
Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, you have 14 days from delivery to return an unused, unmarked piece in its original packaging for a full refund. Just email hello@horara.live to start the process — we'll send a prepaid return label for orders over £200.
It covers any craftsmanship-related defect — solder joints, clasp mechanisms, structural integrity — for as long as you own the piece. Accidental damage, loss, and ordinary wear-and-tear aren't covered, but we offer in-house repair at cost and will always quote you before any work begins.
We use the standard UK alphabetical sizing (J–V). If you're unsure, request our free Horara sizing kit at checkout — we'll send a soft paper sizer that takes 30 seconds to use, with a £15 credit toward your eventual order. You can also visit any UK jeweller for a complimentary measurement.
With normal care, no. Avoid prolonged contact with chlorine, perfume, and harsh cleaning products. Store your piece in the supplied microfibre pouch when not worn. We include a complimentary polishing cloth with every order, and a refresh-polish service available anytime at cost.
Yes, on signet rings, the Mayfair Tie Bar, and select pendants. Engraving is hand-cut by our master engraver in Hatton Garden and adds 7–10 business days to your order. Engraved items are exempt from the standard 14-day return window unless faulty.
At present, we ship within the UK only. International expansion is on the roadmap for late 2026 — join the list below to be notified when we open up to the EU and US.
