“My goal is to create timeless, exquisitely crafted jewelry with a modern touch.”
In the early 17th century, the young and beautiful Swedish court woman Ebba Brahe received a pearl necklace from the young king Gustaf II Adolf as a symbol of his eternal love and affection. Inspired by this 400 year old pearl necklace that still belongs to the family, and worn by Charlotte’s mother on very special occasions, the Ebba Brahe relative, Charlotte Ramel, founded Ebba Brahe Jewellery as a an exclusive jewelry brand in 2013.
Ebba Brahe Jewelry is not only named by her relative, but also inspired by the life of Ebba Brahe as a mother and a successful industrialist. Charlotte has always shown keen interest in history, the life of nobilities and of course: her ancestors. Charlotte’s grandfather Baron Rutger von Essen was the last private owner of Skokloster castle.
Charlotte’s jewelry is classic, yet often features a unique twist. Drawing inspiration from her noble heritage and long family history, she boldly combines timeless elegance with contemporary details, creating a distinctive and sophisticated style in her fine jewelry.
Charlotte was born in 1971 in the historic university town of Uppsala, Sweden. From an early age, she aspired to become a jeweler, and at just twelve years old, her mother arranged for her to train with the renowned Swedish jeweler C.F. Carlman, purveyor to the Swedish court.
After completing various studies in Sweden, Charlotte moved to London at the age of 23 to further her education in jewelry, graduating from a course at Sotheby’s. She remained in London for several years and pursued further studies at the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the world’s foremost authority on diamonds and colored gemstones, where she earned a diamond diploma.
Since then, Charlotte Ramel has traveled the world, attending trade fairs and sourcing the finest pearls, diamonds, and colored gemstones from the industry’s most esteemed suppliers.

Charlotte’s extensive experience, artisan training, and craftsmanship in working with diamonds and precious gemstones, combined with her signature attention to detail, have taken her across the world. She also made history as the first Swedish jewelry designer to be featured at the prestigious luxury hotel, The Ritz in Paris. In the hotel’s boutique windows, some of Ebba Brahe’s most iconic jewelry pieces are on display, including the Diamond Wings and the Ruby Feathers.
“I feel so happy and grateful to live and work in my favorite city, Stockholm. The light, the green parks, the museums, galleries, and restaurants—all of it inspires my work,” says Charlotte.
With a deep appreciation for history, art, and craftsmanship, Charlotte combines her passion with a global perspective. As a true international globetrotter, she is always open to new ideas, expanding her network wherever she travels—from Florence and Vienna to Hong Kong, Falsterbo, and Jaipur.
“What inspires me the most are encounters with true enthusiasts,” she says.
