Out of the time-honored experience of the Belloni family in the world of responsible jewelry comes Altro Carato: the first ethical Precious Metals Supplier in Italy. Altro Carato is the official supplier of Ethical Jewels, the brand that has been fostering a culture of sustainable jewelry in Italy since 2005. These days, when people decide to purchase jewelry they are looking for something more than the pure value of the gems and metals themselves: they also want human values – i.e. respect for the environment, the native populations and the workers, both at the extraction sites and all the way along the production chain that brings the items into their homes. Out of this principle came the idea for Altro Carato: an opportunity for industry professionals who want to add more value, and more values, to the jewelry they create, work or sell.
