From Small-Town Dreams to Big-City Success

Growing up in Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock, she refused to be defined by the limitations often associated with her hometown. At just 16, a serendipitous encounter with a jewellery store manager changed – the course of her life.

With a bold request for a job and a natural charm that – couldn’t be denied, Charlene embarked on a path of education and hands-on experience, ultimately leading her to the glittering streets of London and a successful career spanning 18 years in the industry at London’s finest establishments, including Mappin & Webb.

Your Story, Your Jewellery

As I look to the future, I see a world where my designs bring joy and meaning to people from all walks of life. I dream of collaborating with other talented designers, hosting pop-up shops, and creating inspiring and delightful collections. But more than that, I envision a future where the business is a force for good – supporting local communities, promoting ethical sourcing, and making a positive impact on the world around me and my children.

So, take a moment to explore Charlene’s world of jewellery design. Browse her collections, share your ideas, and let her help you – turn your dreams into reality. With Charlene by your side, you’ll discover the true power of jewellery – to capture moments, evoke emotions, and tell your story in a way that is uniquely, beautifully yours.

A Personal Touch in Every Creation

In Charlene’s world, jewellery is the canvas upon which life’s most precious stories are told. My design philosophy is simple yet profound: “Nothing is impossible if you can dream it.” A trailblazer in her own right, she seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with time-honoured techniques to create – jewellery that is both contemporary and timeless.

With a particular affinity for the rich, warm hues of 18ct yellow gold, Charlene also works with a variety of other precious metals and gemstones. She is passionate about using lab-grown diamonds, which are increasingly popular among her clients but also works with naturally mined diamonds and unique raw stones, ensuring that each piece is truly extraordinary.

I take the time to listen to you, my clients, from the initial consultation to the final reveal, ensuring that each piece is as comfortable to wear as it is beautiful to behold. My commitment to ethical sourcing and using only the finest materials is a testament to dedication to creating jewellery, that not only tells a story but also reflects values and the values of her clients

I am delighted with the necklace Charlene made for me. Charlene is passionate about her craft, sharing her knowledge and skill. She designed and created a beautiful setting for my stone which sits beautifully with the chain I chose, having advised me on the pros and cons of the various chain styles I was considering. I would highly recommend Charlene.

Charlene was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so delighted to have met such a lovely lady. Charlene recently enlarged a few rings for me and also designed a custom locket necklace, incorporating broken opal stones. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding. The resized rings fit perfectly, maintaining their original beauty, and the locket design was truly unique, transforming the broken opals into a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece. Charlene is truly passionate about her work, and so talented. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone.
