The Brand

The Brand of CHARLTON & LOLA embodies the celebration of life's precious moments. What better way to mark your important moments than with fine jewelry? Need help re-designing family heirloom pieces or creating one-of-a-kind fine jewelry designs? That is what the brands specializes in.

Founded in 2011, Charlton & Lola is a New York-based fine jewelry brand specializing in bespoke, handcrafted pieces made with ethically sourced materials. Since 2015, we’ve proudly operated out of New York City’s historic Diamond District — a global hub for fine jewelry and artisan craftsmanship since the 1940s. This vibrant one-block stretch in Midtown Manhattan is home to generations of master jewelers and stone setters, and it continues to shape the city’s identity as a center for luxury jewelry design. Being part of this rich legacy inspires every piece we create, from custom engagement rings to heirloom redesigns. Our 14-year journey stands as a testament to the trust of our clients, our commitment to quality, and our passion for timeless design. Each piece we create is more than jewelry — it’s a story made to last.

Fine Jewelry by Lisa A. Owusu

Lisa’s life exposure to culture, symbolism, and craft informs her approach to fine jewelry. Lisa is a professionally trained fine jeweler whose work is shaped by an international life and a disciplined design philosophy. Born in Brooklyn and raised in West Africa: Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. While practicing as a corporate and securities attorney, she began formal fine-jewelry training in 2011, studying nights after work. What began as a parallel discipline evolved into a singular vision and a brand was born.

Her international perspective underpins CHARLTON & LOLA, a brand defined by cultural fluency, restraint, and respect for material.

CHARLTON is an ode to New York City—specifically, a quiet, historic corner that reflects the brand’s sense of place, permanence, and intimacy. LOLA is both a personal signature and a subtle play on the designer’s name. Together, CHARLTON & LOLA reflects a balance of heritage and individuality.

Driven by passion for fine jewelry design, Lisa has now been creating for over ten years since 2011.

Made in New York City

The brand is rooted in the custom design process-an intimate collaboration between designer and client. While many projects celebrate engagements and weddings, CHARLTON & LOLA embraces the belief that life itself is worth commemorating. All meaningful moments are welcomed.

Each piece is crafted in New York City’s Diamond District by a trusted community of master jewelers and artisans. Stones are approached with reverence, designs are built with intention, and excess is avoided in favor of clarity and enduring beauty.

CHARLTON & LOLA is defined not by trends, but by continuity—where history, culture, and craftsmanship meet in modern form.
