Caroline Neron, a Canadian fashion designer who's also a talented actor and singer, recently debuted her Spring/Summer 2017 collection on the runway during Toronto Fashion Week.
Before the collection of artful jewelry was introduced, the show kicked off with a haunting dance performance which took place at the center of the runway in front of stunning sunset visuals, which relayed the bohemian inspiration behind the designs.

Much of the jewelry was crafted with peals, semi-precious stones, and Swarovski crystals.
