An International Brand
Lisa A. Owusu is a professionally trained fine jeweler. As an established corporate and securities lawyer, Lisa decided to take fine jeweler courses at night, after work, in 2011 and a brand was born. Lisa was born in Brooklyn, New York City, and was raised in West Africa: Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. She returned to America to pursue her college degree. She went on to England to obtain her first law degree and returned to America to obtain her Master's in Law. Lisa has lived in New England and Washington D.C. as well. Her international life highly informs the brand.
CHARLTON is an ode to New York City: a quaint and historical nook in the City. LOLA is an acronym of sorts, a play on Lisa's name.
