PRIVATE DESIGN
Gold & Sapphire Earrings
Custom Fine Jewelry in New York City’s Diamond District
A collaborative process, designed with intention.
At Charlton & Lola, private design is a thoughtful and personal journey — an exchange between client, designer, and craft. Whether you’re dreaming of a bespoke engagement ring, redesigning an heirloom, or creating something entirely new, each piece begins with a conversation and unfolds through a quiet, intentional rhythm.
Our fine jewelry studio is located in the heart of New York City’s Diamond District, where craftsmanship, precision, and tradition guide everything we do.
Your Creation
We begin with your story. Our custom jewelry design process offers one-on-one collaboration with creative director Lisa A. Owusu, whose work is guided by deep knowledge of gemstone sourcing, a refined design perspective, and a reverence for form.
Lisa personally sources exceptional diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, spinels, and tourmalines for private commissions. Each stone is selected with connoisseurship and care, with a focus on rarity, quality, and meaning.
Your Luxury
We define luxury as rarity — in beauty, in experience, and in process. Every bespoke jewelry piece is handmade in our New York City studio by master artisans. There are no shortcuts — only time, skill, and soul.
This is jewelry as it has always been: slow-made, intentional, and deeply personal.
Your Memory
Charlton & Lola’s design process draws from old-world craftsmanship and modern refinement — blending hand techniques with new-world perspective. We guide you through each step: from concept to sketch, from stone selection to final setting.
You are not just receiving a piece. You are becoming part of its making — a hallmark of custom fine jewelry design.
