Designer Charlotte Reichman hand makes each piece of jewelry from her studio in Arizona, often employing Tahitian pearls, Swarovski crystals and Czechoslovakian buttons. Her summer pieces are light, airy and colorful. Perfect for a pair of shorts and tank top or to accessorize a sun dress, this statement jewelry will definitely make an impression on the people around you.

Pricing falls between the $30s and the $300s at the high end. Charlotte has specifically designed cuffs, necklaces, bibs and her chandelier collection for the summer season. Norbu’s designs are perfect for the woman who is looking to add some personality to their outfit, but isn’t looking to wear fine jewelry.

Her backstory is pretty cool; she began designed jewelry while a doctoral student at Harvard’s McLean psychiatric hospital as a way to wind down from her stressful day.
