See in the New Year with a splash of sparkle from leading luxury fashion jewellery designer CARAT*, and with up to 70% off from Boxing Day, it’s a double celebration!

CARAT* will be starting their festive sale with fabulous savings on their stunningly created gemstone necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings from the 26th December until mid January 2012.
Founded by Englishman Scott Thompson in 2003, CARAT* jewellery combines the timeless glamour of a bygone era with a little modern day wearability. CARAT* pieces are about fantasy rather than reality with jewels that are chosen rather than invested, admired rather than shown off. Most importantly, though, CARAT* creations are supposed to be worn rather than hidden in a safe.
CARAT* designs, develops and assembles fine jewellery using its own uniquely created gemstones. Each stage of preparation is done by hand- from pre-forming and faceting to polishing and setting. Every piece is prepared with precision to detail and a vision of creating the most magnificent jewellery.

With an impressive list of A-list fans, CARAT* jewellery is loved and worn by celebrities including Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams, Model and presenter Lisa Snowdon, BAFTA TV awards best actress winner, Vicky McClure, Hollywood actress Olivia Williams, Oscar nominated actress Brenda Blethyn, BAFTA nominee Juliet Stevenson, the cast of Gossip Girl, the hottest teen TV drama, and Amy Nuttal, star of Downton Abbey.
CARAT* has 27 prestigious boutiques in cities around the world including London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Dubai and of course The Victoria Quarter, Leeds.
So snap up a stylish piece and step out in style this New Year.
Celebrate and shimmer, with a little help from……..

CARAT* designs, develops and assembles their watches and jewellery the same way the finest jewellers in the world do with careful attention to detail, hand craftsmanship and using only precious metals.
