When Ole Lynggaard came back from his worldly travels in 1963, he bought the little workshop he had been so accustomed to rent, and established Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. 31 years later his daughter, Charlotte Lynggaard, joined the company and today it belongs to some of the most reputable family owned companies in Denmark, including Charlotte Lynggaard´s brother, Søren Lynggaard and her husband, Michel Norman, who respectively lead and market the company and brand.

 

The head office and production of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is close to the centre of Copenhagen with 75 employees. 30 goldsmiths are seated in-house, giving the designers the opportunity for close cooperation, when handcrafting the unique designs and striving for ultimate perfection in the jewellery pieces. Gemstones are hand picked based on their vibrant colours and form, and each piece of jewellery is manually formed, and then subjected to stringent quality control.

 

Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is one of the leading luxury jewellery brands in Scandinavia, its predominant success being in Denmark, Sweden and Norway with a vast retailer network. Today the company´s focus and efforts are also on the international market with retailers widespread in Europe, but also in the Asian Pacific region.

 

The Lynggaard jewellery is a collection of extravagant pieces with timeless designs that are meant to outlive any seasonal trends. Charlotte Lynggaard, who now defines the company profile, is passionate about setting her own creative signature on everything, from designing the luxurious packaging for the jewellery to the showcases presenting them, from image photo shoots to creating the jewellery catalogue. The purpose is to be able to see into the soul of the design, and to understand the story that follows the pieces all the way from the birth of the idea, to the sketches on the drawing board until the final piece of jewellery is made.

 

Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen offers a series of jewellery collections. Ole and Charlotte Lynggaard each have their own unique creative style, which adds an extra dimension to the already generous palette of styles that embrace feminine sentiments as well as bold, elegant, sensual, or casual looks. All jewellery has either Ole or Charlotte Lynggaard´s signature engraved on it, which is a guarantee of their dedication to quality and perfection.

Ole Lynggaard´s designs are both contemporary and classic. He prides himself in taking years to perfect his designs and collections. Today, all the jewellery collections support Ole Lynggaard´s original idea to design flexible jewellery, when he invented the revolutionary flexible lock in 1979. The lock gives the wearer the possibility to mix and match the jewellery with different pendants, chains, necklaces or add-ons, enabling many wearable variations of the pieces.

In Denmark, Charlotte Lynggaard is considered a fashion icon. As a mother of three children, she is often interviewed by the media regarding future trends. Her style is predominantly feminine, but at the same time modern, elegant and timeless. Charlotte´s luxurious jewellery designs have fascinated many Scandinavian women for years and appeals to all kinds of women; sophisticated, feminine or modern. Charlotte is well known for her abiltiy to capture that special kind of edge in her designs, which can bring forth an elegant, tough or sexy look - with a hint of “rock n´roll”.
