There are jewellery brands that catch the eye, and then there are those that stay with you. Caravan of Stones is the latter, a radiant fusion of colour, craftsmanship, and quiet luxury, created to be lived in rather than saved for rare occasions. Founded by Caron, whose journey led her from the vibrant ateliers of Jaipur to crafting modern heirlooms for everyday wear, the brand redefines what contemporary diamond jewellery can feel like: personal, joyful, and intentionally made. At a.collective , we’re drawn to creators who infuse their work with story and soul, and Caron’s approach to design embodies exactly that. Each piece carries the warmth of global heritage, the precision of fine craftsmanship, and a sense of freedom that celebrates how women really live today. We sat down with Caron to explore the inspiration behind Caravan of Stones , her love for meaningful adornment, and why she believes diamonds should shine in the everyday, not just the extraordinary.
Q&A with the founder, Caron.
What inspired you to launch Caravan of Stones?
Honestly, it wasn’t a master plan. It started with instinct. I was in Jaipur in a car and saw a tiny, dusty wholesale place down a side street. Nothing glamorous at all. But I’m naturally curious, and I love finding things that aren’t obvious, so I asked the driver to stop. Inside, I saw a black thread bracelet with a line of green emeralds and little diamonds. It wasn’t styled or presented in any special way, but the colours together – the green against the black with that bit of sparkle – spoke to me immediately. It tapped into the rock-chick side of me. I’ve always worn a lot of black. In the City I lived in black: black trouser suit, white T-shirt, trainers. Black is powerful, but it can also be a shield. I’m loud, but I’m also shy, and sometimes the loudness hides the shyness. So the green with the black hit me emotionally. I wasn’t looking for jewellery and didn’t need anything, but I had to have it. That was the moment something clicked. From there, I worked hard to build it into something with meaning – not just a bracelet but a whole world. The colours, the combinations, the bespoke side, the idea of diamonds you wear every day, not save for one big moment – that’s how Caravan of Stones started.
