OUR STORY
It started as an infatuation with wearable objects that keep secrets and tell stories. The little things that bring sparkles to our lives. Every charXchen piece is meant to be an everyday companion, to be worn, and gather experiences (big + small) with you. Each is precious because of who wears it. Thank you for being a part of our story.
Collection includes pieces crafted in brass, sterling silver, and 14K gold, plated or vermeil in yellow, rose-gold, or white gold. All pieces are handmade with love.

founder & designer
Having been an avid traveller all her life, Charlotte was looking for everyday accessories that would accompany the life of a full-time nomad and city dweller. Always known by those around her for her adorned fingers, Charlotte has treated her jewelry as an inseparable part of her life even before she started designing her own.
After concentrating on Art History in university, followed by further studies in Art Business, Charlotte developed an interest to convert handcraft objects to accessible forms, especially to suit the demands of contemporary life. Launching charXchen in 2015, Charlotte reflects her approach in the clean silhouettes, geometric shapes, and minimalist forms of her designs. Citing Picasso and Brancusi as two of her favorite artists, she often takes inspiration from modernist painting and sculpture. For Charlotte, the perfect accessories are not only ones that can be worn daily for their lightness and simplicity but also can be trusted as constants. As soon as they are slipped on—whenever, wherever—charXchen pieces become mobile, sculptural objects.
Sustainability & Environmental Responsibilities
We believe strongly in treating our earth with care for our future generations.
As you may find, a number of the collection is available on a made-to-order basis. This allows us to produce without wasting excess resources. Please allow up to 2 to 3 weeks for orders to be shipped. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We are choosing to be paperless in our communications as much as we can. All invoices are emailed, and will only be printed and attached in the shipment upon request. Please kindly let us know in time of purchase should you need hard copies of paperwork.
We are also working hard on lessening the use of plastics in our packagings, as well as during production. After each initial quality inspection, every cXc piece is stored directly in one of our signature cotton pouches, these bags will be the only ones to hold and protect every piece until they are on your hands. By doing this, we eliminate the presence of one time use plastic bags in our studio. Please also try to reuse the cXc cotton pouches whenever you can!
Our cardboard mailer boxes are made from recycled paper stock, please reuse or recycle at your convenience.
How to care for your jewelry
We want your charXchen pieces to explore the world and go on as many adventures as they can with you. Please wear with care and treat them with love. To best preserve the coloration of sterling silver or brass, keep away from direct contact with perfume sprays or sweat. After each wear, please wipe clean and store in our signature charXchen cotton pouch to minimize oxidation. In cases of oxidation, use a polishing cloth to gently clean the surfaces.
