And the part-time lecturer at a private institute speaks animatedly about imparting knowledge to the younger generation and equipping them with both traditional and modern techniques of jewellery making.

His love for gemstones and jewellery design and eye for detail have enables Caratell to stand tall for more than a decade. Because of Koh’s vision and passion, the brand’s clients understand that whether it’s simple jewellery for daily wear, wedding bands or statement pieces for galas and soirées, they are not just buying an item, but something made with love.
