Victoria Charles

Victoria Charles has one of the coolest fine jewelry selections in town. The styles here tend toward big, chunky and statement-​making. Honestly, if I’m going to invest in a designer piece, this is what I want. You’ll find current designers along with Cartier, Tiffany and Bulgari. There’s a master goldsmith on staff who designs a collection of jewelry for the store and who performs repairs, remounts and redesigns.
One of my favorite lines at this store is Valerie Sanson, the owner of now-​closed beloved home décor store Lane Sanson. Valerie’s jewelry utilizes natural gemstones and shells that are layered for utterly unique, eye-​catching necklaces bracelets and earrings. She uses bright coral, sedate pearls, lapis, amethyst and other stones for jewelry that’s full of color and life.
There’s also a great selection of Judith Leiber crystal handbags. Even if you don’t want to invest in one, they’re fun to look at!
