Every Monday The Carat Soup shines a spotlight on hidden gems: extraordinary women in our industry. This week my focus is on Kathryn Bishop.

She’s a prominent jewellery and watches writer, editor and content creator. This jewellery maven’s CV and portfolio read like a who’s who in the jewellery world, both at home in the UK and internationally.

Bishop is co-founder of the much needed platform, Women’s Jewellery Network. I had the pleasure of interviewing her last week, for my show Hidden Gems with Maya on Women’s Radio Station.

Kathryn is the jewellery BFF you’ve always wanted! I had to do my utmost to not fan-girl too much, guffaw. I managed to speak to her shortly after the end of a panel discussion titled “From Suffragette to Self-Purchasing, Celebrating 100 years of Women and Jewellery”, of course I *had* to interview her.

Check out her website here and Kathryn’s Insta here.
