Charlene K

Charlene K was founded by Teong Kay and his wife, Gigi in 2005.  Envisioned as a contemporary jewelry line, it was named after their  daughter, Charlene. It was first based on Beverly Hills and expanded  from there.

Doing business has always been a great interest of his. The jewelry line however is not the first business venture of Teong Kay.

Teong Kay immigrated to the United States armed with a business  degree and with thirty-five dollars in his pocket. When he arrived here  he got fascinated by fashion so much so that over time, he took entry  level positions in garment factories to learn the business.  Then, he  used his business degree to realize his love for fashion and design by  opening several boutiques. Teong Kay created two successful dress  collections called Pave and St. Romei. His dress collections were sold  at many exclusive boutiques as well as fine department stores, including  Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. From  these ventures, Teong Kay had also fostered a passion for fine jewelry  and believes that a woman’s look is not complete until and unless she is  accessorized with jewelry.  After years of planning, he decided to  follow his passion for jewelry and launched the Charlene K jewelry  collection.

Charlene K was created to appeal to every woman’s desire for self  expression through the wearing of beautiful, timeless pieces. Mindful of  the many facets of a woman, the jewelry line presents varied designs  that invite one to make up and discover a new look. The collection is  made up of 14K Gold Vermeil, 14K Rose Gold Vermeil, and Sterling Silver  jewelry combined with semi-precious stones and druzies.
