Karl B
Contemporary Jewellery Artist

Karl B is a London-based artist and jewellery designer whose practice explores the shifting relationship between craftsmanship, technology and value in contemporary material culture. Working across jewellery and collectable objects, he combines industrial processes, alternative materials and hand intervention to investigate how ideas of perfection are changing in an age of machine precision.
Drawing inspiration from engineering structures, titanium implants, brutalist architecture and post-industrial environments, Karl creates objects that exist between technical control and human presence. His work often juxtaposes highly engineered forms with textured, altered or deliberately disrupted surfaces, challenging conventional associations of luxury with flawless finish and material preciousness.
A graduate of MA Design: Jewellery at Central Saint Martins, Karl's practice operates between contemporary jewellery, collectable design and critical luxury, creating pieces that are intended not only to be collected, but also worn, repaired and valued through use.
