Our Story
What began as a humble dream in 1983, grew into a legacy of trust, craftsmanship, and community. Long before we became a destination for fine jewelry and luxury timepieces, our founder started with something far simpler: a small stall at a local flea market in New Jersey. With nothing more than passion, grit, and a deep respect for the customer, watches and jewelry were sold one conversation at a time. It was in those early of hands-on moments, built on honesty and personal connection, that the foundation of Carat & Co. was formed.
As the years passed, that flea market stall evolved into a storefront in Long Island, and eventually found its permanent home in Flushing, New York. Carat & Co. was officially established as a family-owned business, rooted in the belief that exceptional pieces deserve equally exceptional service.
Every step of our journey has been guided by humility—learning from our earliest customers, refining our eye for fine timepieces and jewelry, and nurturing relationships that continue across generations. Today, Carat & Co. is proud to be a trusted destination for luxury watches and fine jewelry, offering prestigious brands and timeless designs to clients both locally and internationally.
Yet at our core, we remain true to where we started. The flea-market spirit lives on in everything we do: honest service, meaningful relationships, and a genuine passion for helping you celebrate life’s most important moments.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more proud of how we began.
