Local jewelry brand KIKI to open Camp North End storefront

Charlotte jewelry brand KIKI will open its first permanent store at Camp North End on Aug. 16.

Why it matters: Known for its waterproof and hypoallergenic gold-filled jewelry, the pop-up-turned-permanent shop joins a growing list of local businesses in one of Charlotte's most talked-about developments.

What to expect: KIKI's products are all 18-karat gold, filled with a stainless steel base.

  • The brand is primarily known for its gold hoop earrings but offers everything from rings and pendants to anklets.

  • Last week, Cox launched KIKI's "brother brand" called "Daddy," which sells gender-neutral accessories that lean more masculine-looking.
