Launched in Paris in 2015 by its namesake founder, the Charlotte Chesnais brand creates jewelry that exists at the intersection of sculpture and wearable design. After honing her craft for over a decade at Balenciaga alongside Nicolas Ghesquière, Chesnais developed a distinct vision centered on abstract, fluid forms that curve and wrap around the body. Her collections feature undulating lines and pure shapes realized in sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil, creating pieces that are both sensual and architectural. The brand’s signature pieces, such as the Saturn and Bond rings, are conceived as small, wearable sculptures inspired by artists like Jean Arp and Constantin Brâncuși. Produced in the finest French ateliers, the jewelry emphasizes high-quality craftsmanship and a timeless appeal, quickly earning the prestigious ANDAM Fashion Accessories Prize in its first year. The designs are celebrated by the fashion press for their elegant and unconventional approach, offering a modern classic style that feels both elemental and refined.
