In a clear-cut case of “classic meets contemporary,” Los Angeles-based designer Charlie Lapson has joined LeVian as the company’s newest designer.

Lapson, a favorite of Hollywood’s Red Carpet celebrities, was labeled by Time magazine as “one of the hippest designers in Los Angeles,” and Entertainment Tonight called him “the designer for the new millennium.”

Lapson’s new designs at LeVian—for men and women—fuse the gemstones for which LeVian is famous with settings of gold and platinum expressive of Lapson’s Hollywood background.

The first collection, “Jewels of Style,” will be introduced by Lapson on Shop NBC. Prices range from $300 to $5,000. The second collection, titled “Charlie Lapson for LeVian” will be introduced in full at The JCK Show ~ Las Vegas in June, and prices will range from $1,000 to $50,000.
