Sheryl Lowe, the successful designer for her namesake brand Sheryl Lowe Jewelry has enjoyed accolades for her collection of rocker-chic jewelry that represents empowerment, self-expression and inner strength. Her super wearable designs have been seen on celebrities, the likes of Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow, Maria Shriver and Oprah. This summer, she and husband Rob Lowe together launched her newest collection, Mr. Lowe. We caught up with the designer to hear her vision for the new collection and why designing for her husband and two sons provides her constant inspiration.

“My clients are buying for their husbands; however, we are finding that men are self-purchasing the collection, and an entirely new clientele has emerged,” she says. “I focused on more earthy gemstones. Same as the Sheryl Lowe Jewelry women’s collection, I am mixing metals with beads. I’m working with what I know to be a success, and my travels are a constant source of inspiration because I buy a lot of materials when I am in other countries, keeping the look very authentic,” she says.

And what does she hope to achieve with her new collection? “My collections have always been about passion, self-expression, empowerment and inner strength. I want the same for my male clients. I hope that the shy and conservative man will feel comfortable and inspired wearing this collection,” she says.

“I am continually inspired by the men in my life—my husband Rob and our two amazing sons. They are a constant source of creativity since we see each other often. I think a man should wear my collection in any way that he wants to. Whatever makes him happy, confident and comfortable. My wish is that men will feel comfortable in multiple pieces. I love texture and layering.

And what does Rob say? “I love it because I am able to take a piece of her with me wherever I go. I love my beaded bracelet with the diamond buddha, my chain necklace with two pendants, the Maltese cross and Ganesh, and my ring with a pave diamond triangle, which represents strength, serenity and hope,” he says.
