“Your jewellery is part of your personality,” Carol says. “You should buy and wear jewellery that makes you feel happy. And a piece that you love to wear doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive; it just has to make you feel confident about yourself. Since I realised this, I have become more adventurous with my taste. I don’t mind surrounding blue sapphires with pink sapphires. Well, also because I have diamonds to put in between.”

Carol also never worries about matching her jewellery with what she’s wearing. “My clothes are overall very muted. I very seldom wear bright colours, and it’s because I enjoy wearing jewellery,” she says.
