charlottes Bio
Charlotte Penman, mother of 3 and a celebrated name in the jewellery industry, has enchanted collectors and fashion enthusiasts for two decades with her mystical and meticulously crafted designs.
What started as an artistic persuit while travelling through Asia and Europe, quickly grew into a passion and then a way of life. Charlotte's background in painting and sculpture transferred fluidly into jewellery making. Her interest in stripping back to the essence and finding the core extends through all her work, she creates pieces that enhance without overpowering, that fit comfortably and hold up the feminine wth both strength and softness.
With a deep respect for nature and love of art and history, she explores these themes alongside texture, colour and movement. Her passion is to create bespoke celebration and engagement jewellery with earth's precious gems and metals, as well as timeless and thoughtful seasonal jewellery collections.
"I am interested in the long history of adornment across all cultures of the world. It is something women have engaged in since the beginning of humanity. Jewellery is very personal and often sentimental, it goes beyond the surface of beauty and becomes an extension of our form, it brings art into our daily life."
