Manhattan
Drawing inspiration from the skyscrapers of New York, the Manhattan collection embodies a contemporary interpretation of the finest deco jewellery.
Design
While apprenticing amongst the antique and period jewellery dealers of NYC in the early 2000s, Charlie was often between workshops in the streets of New York amongst the skyscrapers. This view of the New York skyline from the street at the foot of a skyscraper later inspired a jewellery collection of geometric style in perspective. The deco period was hugely influential across Europe and North America and at the time reflected the equality of the sexes, balance and an optimism for the future. The smooth channel setting of calibre cut gemstones in the Manhattan collection displays unusually refined precision craftsmanship and great style in jewellery for all occasions.
Craft
Handcrafted in Great Britain, this collection is a testament to fine craftsmanship. To create the panoramic display of gems in each piece, the stone setter and cutter must work in perfect unison to cut the perfect gemstones for a seamless setting.
All of the gems used in this collection have been individually fashioned into these more unusual cut styles highlighting the vintage inspiration of this collection.
