Behind the Design: Charriol

Mike Levine

Looking for a gorgeous Valentine’s Day gift that will surely wow someone special but won’t break the bank?

Inspired by ancient Celtic design, French entrepreneur Philippe Charriol came up with his unique line of jewelry in the 1980s. Much of the collection features some sort of twisted cable motifs in gold or steel.

Charriol’s fun and unique bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and rings add flair to any outfit and blend well with any other jewelry you’re wearing. Dress up with Charriol or dress down—you win either way. Many items in the collection feature physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating that is not only extremely durable but beautifully decorative.

Philippe Charriol died last year in a tragic car racing accident, but the success of this family-run business lives on thanks to his daughter Coralie, a fashion industry leader in her own right who has added crystals and precious stones to the line.
