City of Jewels. Carat London.

Carat London.

Carat London are world leaders in lab-grown diamonds. Produced at a fraction of the environmental and human cost, these are diamonds that do not cost the earth.

Truly a new diamond for a new generation.

With City of Jewels, we were tasked with creating hero video content about the city at the heart of the world’s diamond and jewellery industry: Surat, India. Here, a new generation of sustainable diamond is being grown, cut and polished by Carat London’s sister brand, Gentle Diamonds.

Project objectives.

1
Capture the skill and dedication of the craftspeople behind lab-grown diamonds.
2
Authentically showcase Carat London's social impact programmes in Surat.
3
Reframe the conversation of what a diamond should represent.

Results.

The adventure of a lifetime.

It’s hard to overstate how incredible it was to experience travelling to Surat, India – where one million people cut almost all of the world’s diamonds – where we were invited to showcase the artistry, craftsmanship and the natural beauty of growing diamonds. We were thrilled to visit Gentle Diamonds’ cutters at work at their state-of-the-art diamond reactor facility as well as the local schools, hospitals and animal sanctuaries that benefit directly from Carat London’s philanthropic work.

Over the next three years we would go many other adventures with Carat London.
