Jewels of the Caribbean – The Style Traveller / CARAT* London Shoot

Where? The Caribbean.
Exactly? Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Property and The Viceroy, Anguilla.
Why? For a photo shoot and collaboration with jewellery brand  CARAT* London.

I love jewels and fine jewellery, especially accessorising my outfit with a bit of bling every now and then. But when it comes to travelling abroad, it can be a worry wearing and carrying expensive jewellery. Which is why I was so pleased to discover Carat* London.

It has all the shine and gloss of fine jewellery, but it’s made with created gemstones. The pieces look like they cost a million dollars but in reality they are much more affordable. The entry level price point means it’s the perfect brand for discerning travellers.  They also come in lovely chic, white, hard box packaging, so no worries about damaging it transit. Here’s my Caribbean jewellery shoot with Carat* London, defining the perfect way to wear jewels on holiday, by the beach or on a night out.
