Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen was established in 1963 by goldsmith Ole Lynggaard, who, after having studied and worked in Germany, Paris, NewYork, San Francisco and Japan, came back to Denmark and bought a small workshop. Charlotte Lynggaard, his daughter, who is a goldsmith and designer like her father, joined the company in 1992, after having studied in Switzerland, Paris and San Francisco. Søren Lynggaard, his son, became Managing Director in 2003. Michel Normann, Charlotte´s husband, became Commercial Director in 2006, and Hanna, Søren’s wife, joined the company in 2008. With more than 100 employees, the family-run house has a solid and well-established reputation as a luxury brand, not only throughout Scandinavia, but also in many other parts of the world.

In the hands of a stone artisan, a professional lapidary, who practices the craft of working, forming and finishing the stones, the beautifully faceted Sweet drop gems are cut and carved, capturing a maximum of light into the stone, increasing the lustre and creating an enchanting sparkle of colour and light. The skilled lapidary cuts another raw stone in a convex cut, creating a smooth, polished and refined finish, turning it into an elegant cabochon. The shapes and colours of the Sweet Drops enable many wearable and complimentary variations of the bracelet. This supports Ole Lynggaard´s original idea of designing flexible jewellery, the concept of the company for half a century.
