As Beyond.ca’s newest sponsor I thought I’d provide a quick background of who I am!
First of all, my name is Justin and I am the owner of Gem by Carati. I’ve been a Beyonder for a quite a few years and having opened my store in December of last year, I thought it would be a good time to become a sponsor!

My sister opened Carati in 2003, I spent a couple of years running this store while my sister was on maternity leave.

I opened Gem in December 2011. This store being my baby, I tend to spend most of my time here.

On a personal note, I grew up in in the business and have been involved in some capacity since I was about 15. After university I continued my education in the industry by becoming a Graduate Gemologist, accredited by the GIA. In a nutshell, this means I’m able to grade diamonds, identify gemstones, and generally be an expert in all things jewellery.
We specialize in diamonds, coloured stones and custom designs. By sponsoring beyond I hope to be able to provide the community with a source of information on jewellery and diamond buying.
Currently for watches, I carry Tissot, Hamilton and Longines.
There will be exclusive beyond.ca deals, so stay tuned!
If you have any questions, please email me directly at: [email protected] or give me a call at 403-264-8772.
Thanks!
Justin
