A conversation with Caron
That’s like asking a parent to choose their favourite child! If I had to pick one, it would be the bracelet featuring emeralds on a black thread. It reminds me of Jaipur’s lush gardens and the jewel-toned saris I saw on my travels. But truly, every bracelet is special to me – they all carry a little piece of the story I wanted to tell through Caravan of Stones.
I love how versatile bracelets are. They’re intimate and personal but also incredibly stylish. You can wear them every day as a subtle statement or layer them up for special occasions. Bracelets also feel like a perfect way to bring a touch of luxury into the everyday, which is the essence of Caravan of Stones.
That’s a tough one, but I think India has to be at the top of my list. The energy, the culture, the colours – it’s all so inspiring. Beyond India, I’m drawn to Morocco for its architecture, vibrant souks and varied landscapes and France has a special place in my heart from when I lived there during my university years.
Absolutely—Japan is at the very top of my list. I’m captivated by its culture, from the serene beauty of its temples to the bustling streets of Tokyo. I’d love to experience the cherry blossoms, the food, and the meticulous craftsmanship that the country is known for. I'm a bit of a clean freak too, so I know I would fit right in!
I’m drawn to places with rich cultural heritage. Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar and the spice markets of Marrakesh have always inspired me. I also adore Italy for its timeless elegance – every corner feels like a masterpiece. I have many fond memories of holidays there as a child.
Skiing is my other great passion. I’ve been on skis since the age of 4, and there’s nothing quite like the freedom and exhilaration of gliding down a snowy mountain. Whether it’s the Alps or a resort somewhere far-flung, skiing is my ultimate escape and the perfect way to recharge.
Without a doubt, my family. I’m a huge family person, and nothing means anything without them by my side. My dad was one of five, and we’re all incredibly close, which is something I’ve always cherished. My two boys keep me very busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way – they are my world. And then there’s our dog, the newest addition to our family. He’s already adored by us all and has brought so much love and joy into our lives.
