A NEW JEWEL

Charriol, a Geneva-based luxury brand of watches and jewelry, just opened a new boutique at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.

The luxurious boutique features Charriol’s signature plum color standing showcases, similar to its boutiques in Geneva, Kiev, Dubai, and Hong Kong.

Charriol Fashion Island exclusively carries specialty pieces, including 2.5-carat yellow diamond engagement rings. Among the many watch lines from founder Philippe Charriol are the Celtic collection that features its signature stainless steel cable bracelet, an 18-carat gold cable, and Celtic Noir in black stainless steel cable.

Coralie Charriol, daughter of the founder, designs the jewelry and leather goods collections that nicely complement the watches. Coralie brings a fresh perspective and modern flair to Charriol. The jewelry line includes intricate detailing in 18-carat white gold, black cable diamond, sterling silver, gold and precious stones.

Charriol also carries handbags, belts and wallets, as well as designer pen collections.
