About Us

Cattivo Jewelry is the brainchild of the collaborative couple Thomas Tjiong and Carman Un. since 2008. Over the past 16 years, we have designed and produced a multitude of successful jewelry collections for various international brands, and our works have been exhibited in Paris, Denmark, and Hong Kong.

“Cattivo” is an Italian word that means “bad”.

It’s not a traditional way to name a jewelry company, but we believe that our services are changing the old industry practices, and unleashing the creative powers of young designers in the new digital era. With the service we provided, we are hoping to incubate a new generation of jewelry designers and entrepreneurs who are capable of creating “wearable sculptures” that express the personality of the wearers all around the globe.

We see the market rise and fall amid shockwaves, yet we keep evolving till we have come together with our customers, and today, as we are all reaching the end of the tunnel, we are proudly marching into a new era.

We disrupt the jewelry manufacturing industry by taking a few steps further – we follow the world’s latest design trends closely and actively advise designers on jewelry designs.

Combining our trend insight and fine craftsmanship, we are working with jewelry designers around the globe for a wide range of collections following the most updated fashion trends.

From the changes in the pandemic years, we understand the importance of providing services with flexibility. It is a new era for us to be transparent in all steps and integrate technologies to streamline the process. We strive to be agile in all aspects to assist and grow with our customers.

SUSTAINABLE

APPROACH

At Cattivo, we believe that the foundation of our jewelry brand and services are our values, which distinguish us from others and guide our actions. Over the years, we have been committed to creating jewelry ethically and responsibly by adopting sound environmental practices to make our Earth a more sustainable place. We use 100% recycling silver, opt for biodegradable packaging, and adopt sustainable practices in our production process. These values are rooted in Cattivo’s history, heritage and character, and help us meet our purpose.

Through working with third parties and continuous research, our team of sustainability specialists keep our code of morality and environmental ethics up to date, and our sustainability options are tailored to our customers.
