Charles Krypell started his career as a sculpture, training at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, his native city. Working in clay, wood, brass and stone he created many pieces, some of which today are featured in museums and at sporting arenas across the USA.

This foundation in design and understanding of the practice of making lead to a natural progression into jewellery design. Krypell returned to study in order to train with master jewellers and in 1976, his efforts came to fruition and Charles Krypell INC was founded.

With his sculptors eye and attention to shape and form, Krypell has been met with acclaim since day one. He is insistent when it comes to quality and selects only the best materials in order to produce the most distinguished product: The best that Earth has to offer is all that one should require and all that I ever choose allow[ing] me to design a functional and generational piece of jewellery around those requirements. Charles Krypell
