Carat

In 2003, founder and CEO Scott Thompson started his journey in Vicenza, Italy, historically famous for its jewellery-making expertise. His travels led him to the Far East, to an area known for the trading of rubies and sapphires for hundreds of years.

Here, he found himself at the grinding wheel with stonecutters working by hand in the traditional way, cutting and polishing with their hands and eyes in order to achieve the perfect finish. This impressive craftsmanship became the main inspiration behind CARAT* London.
