Jeweller Carat is further expanding its Asian footprint.

It recently opened in Hong Kong’s Times Square shopping mall with another shop to open at K11 shopping mall and inside Sogo department store.

It will also open in China’s Xintiandi shopping district and at Sogo department store and in Bangkok’s Central World shopping mall.

“We believe our presence in Asia benefits our growing UK and continental European business with Chinese tourists travelling further and wider than ever before thus further reinforcing the brand’s international presence,” said CEO Scott Thompson.

Founded by Englishman Scott Thompson in 2003, Carat designs, develops and assembles fine jewellery using its own created gemstones.
