What Makes KORITE Jewellery Heirloom Quality
Some jewellery is made to be worn. KORITE is made to be remembered.
For 45 years, our designs have marked life’s milestones—anniversaries, graduations, new beginnings. Over time, those pieces become more than keepsakes. They become part of a family’s story. A necklace once gifted is now passed down. A pendant once chosen is now cherished by the next generation.
This is the heart of what we do: creating jewellery with meaning, made to last, and made to be shared.
Building a Legacy with Every Piece
Heirloom jewellery has traditionally been seen as antique or passed down from previous generations. But today’s collectors are creating their own legacies, choosing pieces with the intention to hold on to them for years to come. In a time when customers are increasingly looking for value, meaning, and sustainability, heirloom-quality jewellery is about choosing fewer, better pieces that hold personal and financial value.
Why Ammolite Is the Perfect Heirloom Stone
Ammolite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world. It’s completely unique with no two stones the same. Its colours shift in the light, giving it a natural vibrancy and life that feels like no other gemstone. Set in KORITE’s handcrafted jewellery, Ammolite becomes deeply personal, with many of our customers describing a sense of connection to their piece.
As Ammolite becomes more scarce, its value continues to rise. But its true significance lies in its meaning to the wearer. Ammolite is not only a rare gemstone but it’s a moment, a memory, and a legacy.
The Growing Demand for Legacy Jewellery
Across the jewellery industry, we’re seeing a growing interest in legacy pieces—jewellery that is built to last and that holds personal meaning. Customers are increasingly choosing pieces they know will age well, jewellery that will remain relevant not only today but for decades to come.
Ammolite is perfectly suited for this shift. Its story is ancient, but its beauty and versatility make it timeless. The play of colour and light gives it a modern aesthetic, while its natural rarity and provenance make it a true treasure.
At KORITE, we believe jewellery should be meaningful. That’s why we oversee every step of the process from mining to design to the final setting. We’re committed to creating pieces that not only last, but carry meaning, value, and story.

Jewellery to Be Passed Down
We hear from our customers all the time about how their KORITE jewellery has been passed down over the years. Whether it’s a favourite ring worn regularly or a special pendant saved for meaningful occasions, these pieces grow with their owners. Many customers purchase KORITE pieces with the intention of passing them on to their children one day.
As these pieces are handed down, they carry even more significance—more memories, more meaning. This is what heirloom jewellery is all about: a piece of history, a story, and a connection between generations.

Choosing Heirloom-Quality Jewellery
When selecting heirloom-quality jewellery, it’s important to consider the craftsmanship and care behind each piece. At KORITE, we take great pride in our work. And most importantly, look for our signature KORITE stamp.
Each stamped piece comes with our conditional lifetime guarantee, reflecting our commitment to quality and authenticity. It’s the first thing we check when customers reach out about their legacy pieces and it’s one of the most important details to look for when building your own collection.
