Christian's Jewellery Journey
The Early Years: Pioneering Ethical Sourcing
Christian's journey began with a mission to revolutionise the jewellery industry by integrating ethical practices into sourcing and production. As a founding member of CRED Jewellery, the original ethical jeweller, Christian pioneered the sourcing of precious metals directly from mines that operated with high environmental and social standards. This groundbreaking approach ensured that every piece of jewellery was fully traceable from its origin to its final form—a world's first in the industry.
His work with CRED Jewellery was instrumental in developing the market and standards for FAIRTRADE gold, which launched in 2011. Through his efforts, Christian not only set new benchmarks for ethical sourcing but also educated consumers and the industry on the importance of transparency and responsibility.
The Consulting Years: Shaping Bespoke Jewellery
In 2012, Christian embarked on a new chapter in his career, transitioning from a public-facing role to working behind the scenes as a design consultant for independent jewellers, manufacturers, and brands. This phase of his career allowed Christian to share his expertise and passion for ethical practices while crafting bespoke pieces and ranges that celebrated individuality and craftsmanship.
Christian's consultancy work was characterised by his dedication to personal service and co-creation. He guided clients through the design process, offering expert advice and insights, ensuring that each piece of jewellery resonated deeply with its wearer. His commitment to celebrating the uniqueness of his clients became a hallmark of his work, setting a new standard for bespoke jewellery in the industry.
The Launch of C.Cheesman: A New Chapter
In 2024, Christian decided it was time to offer his personalised jewellery service to private clients, leading to the launch of C.Cheesman.
