The spirit of Carnival endures long after the festivities end.
“Mash is a feeling you grow up with,” she said. “I wanted this collection to feel like a keepsake of that energy.”
The six-piece collection includes statement necklaces, hoops, and a sculptural pin. Each highlights a dancer’s silhouette, arms open in Carnival joy.
For many in the Caribbean diaspora, it is a familiar image, one that evokes memories of the road, music pulsing, and a sense of complete freedom.
The pieces are sterling silver with gold plating, accented by gemstones: citrine for warmth, aquamarine for sea and sky, and green topaz for festival lights.
Every element, Harris-Stoute said, was chosen with intention.
“Jewelry should tell a story,” she said. “It should mean something.”
That philosophy has defined Alliyette since its launch in 2024. The brand builds on Harris-Stoute’s broader mission of celebrating Caribbean identity, a mission she has long championed through her work as the founder of the Guyanese Girls Rock Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women.
Through both ventures, she centers culture, pride, and representation.
The Karnival Collection follows the brand’s debut Heritage Collection, which featured map-inspired pieces honoring Caribbean nations, including Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. Together, the collections form a narrative, one rooted in origin, expression, and joy.
Harris-Stoute aims to produce jewelry that endures, with each piece designed to be both a statement of style and a lasting memento of Carnival spirit.
“Carnival doesn’t end,” she said. “It lives with you.”
With the Karnival Collection, vibrant gold designs embody bold Caribbean spirit.
