​A travel through time and space,

THE STORY
WARA DESIGNS follows the journey of French silversmith Caroline Daoulas. Her unique collections reflect, in clean geometric lines, her deep admiration for the cultural and artistic heritage of metal jewellery making in ancient civilizations from around the world.
​
Fascinated by the many cultures the world has to offer, Caroline has lived most of her adult life abroad, predominantly in South America and South East Asia. leaving a strong influence on her inspiration and design style. It also developed her eco-consciousness and awareness for the need and benefits of sustainability.
In Peru, her dream to work with silver was realised when she trained as a silversmith. She chose the brand name WARA DESIGNS as a tribute - Wara Wara meaning 'stars' in Aymara (an ancestral language still spoken in parts of The Andes). It is also at this time that she started her experimental work on the natural reactions that can be created on metal to form colourful patinas on her pieces.
During the following 7 years, in the buzzing energy of Vietnam, the brand grew and Caroline established herself as a jewellery designer and maker. Embracing sustainable practices, she became a proud contributor to the slow fashion movement.
​
For her return to Europe, the beautiful island of Ibiza felt like the perfect place to start a new adventure and to continue her journey of jewellery making.
