CHARNAY is a jewellery brand imagined by a singular man.
A man who was never meant to design jewels and yet, has created his very own language.
He is an explorer, a designer like no other.
A self-made creator.
Everything started with gold. A treasure that he bought and sold.
Family mementos in the shape of jewels he used to trade every day.
Unique creations with a thousand lives and stories, that travelled through generations, time, and cities.
One day, he decided to give a second life to this beautiful but usually damaged pieces.
Metal had no secrets for his grandfather, he was a blacksmith. After all, maybe it was meant to be.
Eventually, those jewels he transformed became desirable and lovable by passers-by who bought it.
This was a disclosure for him. A one-of-a-kind revelation.
From trader to craftsman, a new adventure as well began.
Surrounded by the best, he decided to set up his very own atelier in Lyon, the world’s capital of jewellery.
Together, they have developed a unique savoir-faire, working tirelessly, but with passion.
What started improvised soon become perfectly mastered by this man committed to excellence.
Noticed by the greatest jewellery Houses of the Place Vendôme in Paris, his atelier makes unique pieces on order ever since.
Named after his wife, CHARNAY is a new challenge for this original designer.
The expression of a true desire to put his expertise and passion into his own creations.
The reflection of a strong belief in a craftsmanship fully made in France.
A tribute to his greatest inspiration.
From Vendôme to Charnay, there is only one step.
