Charlotte maintains strong relationships with international clients including high-profile celebrities, society individuals and fashion stylists, and features as the luxury accessories expert on ITV's "Million Pound Pawn".
“I look for the little 'unicorns' of the jewellery world. Jewels created decades and centuries ago and which have survived trends and fashions.”
