The History of Karizia S.p.A.: Tradition, Innovation, Sustainability
Founded in 1987 in Bassano del Grappa, at the heart of Italy’s renowned goldsmithing district, Karizia S.p.A. was born from the union of artisanal craftsmanship and technological innovation. Deeply rooted in its territory and in the culture of Made in Italy, the company aspires to create jewelry that embodies elegance, quality, and enduring value.
As early as 1991, Karizia began establishing its presence on the international stage by participating in the most prestigious trade fairs in the jewelry sector. The following year marked the company’s debut in television sales, expanding its commercial reach, and in 1993, partnerships with major international distributors laid the foundation for strategic global growth.
In 2008, Karizia embarked on a structured path toward sustainability, embracing a model of responsible development. This commitment took shape in 2011 with the patent of IT ProLux, a revolutionary anti-oxidation process that gives jewelry a lasting brilliance, surpassing traditional methods such as anti-tarnish treatments and e-coating.
The year 2012 marked a significant milestone: Karizia celebrated its 25th anniversary, highlighting a quarter-century of progress, innovation, and achievement. In 2015, the company gained increased visibility in the U.S. market with the launch of an exclusive in-house designed collection distributed by leading television networks.
Karizia’s ethical and social commitment was further solidified in 2016 with its membership in the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) a global non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible business practices throughout the entire jewelry supply chain, encompassing ethical, social, and environmental standards.
On the occasion of its 30th anniversary in 2017, Karizia reaffirmed its bond with the local community and renewed its pledge to pursue ever more sustainable business practices. This journey took a further step in 2021 with the release of its first Sustainability Report, a voluntary publication reflecting the company’s dedication to transparency and continuous improvement of its environmental performance.
In 2023, Karizia achieved ISO 14001 environmental certification and implemented an integrated management system aligned with three ISO standards—further underscoring its determination to lead the transition toward a more sustainable future.
Since 1987, Karizia S.p.A. has continued to evolve, remaining true to the values that have defined it: quality, innovation, and sustainability. A journey that looks confidently toward the future, without ever losing sight of its roots.
