Why Charming Cocco
Chase the moments. Cherish the feeling. Choose Charming Cocco.
Meet Erika & Cocco
Jewelry has been at the heart of our family my entire life. We have one of the oldest fine jewelry retail businesses in the Washington DC area, where I have enjoyed curating collections for our store and sourcing beautiful pieces for clients who have become dear friends. With a deep passion for jewelry, I dreamed of designing a signature line that reimagines the ever so popular initial charms.
The inspiration for my brand name comes from my seven-year-old Boston Terrier, shared with my daughter and husband. Her official name is Coconut (derived from her less common brown and white coloring), but we call her Cocco, using the Italian spelling of “coconut” as a nod to my heritage and love for Italy. She has tons of personality. She is charismatic, spirited & simply irresistible. To me, Cocco is the definition of charming.
At the heart of my brand is a simple but beautiful belief - we should cherish the charming moments in life with the people, places & things that bring us the most joy... like Cocco. Life moves fast, but when we slow down and are present and mindful, we allow ourselves to fully enjoy those simple pleasures that bring us feelings of gratitude and happiness. The ones that leave lasting impressions.
I created Charming Cocco 14k gold initial charms as meaningful reminders of those bright moments in life that shape your story and are kept close to your heart. Whether it’s your own first initial or that of someone you love, each charm is a reminder of the glimmers of joy that make your life shine.
I hope my message resonates with you and that you will also capture that connection and delight. When you wear Charming Cocco, you’re wearing a reminder that the little things in life... are not so little.
Chase the moments. Cherish the feeling. Choose Charming Cocco.
