Our Story
Inspired by nature, 20th century icons, antiquity jewels and dreamy Balearic beaches, we work with precious metals and a range of gemstones. With a deep appreciation of design, fine art, history, film and jewellery making, we love to bring these elements together to create collections for the modern woman.
Alongside our collections, we create bespoke and custom made engagement rings and wedding bands, and love to work with couples to create future heirlooms that can be cherished, and handed down through the generations.
Gemstones are featured throughout many of our ranges. Found in exotic locations from Madagascar to Alaska, from the Czech Republic to New Mexico, each gemstone has its own story.
Our creations are storytellers, marking life's milestones and transforming fleeting moments into everlasting intimate memories.
Each piece, whether a bespoke ceremonial talisman, an expression of love or a bold statement, is forged with meticulous attention to detail, imbued with the spirit of exceptional artistry.
We wish to be part of people’s lives, supporting their journey to deepen in love with each other and self through sacred treasures.
charlottes Bio
Having grown up within a family of artists, architects and designers, Charlotte's awareness of structure, form and material was realised at a young age. Traveling from New Zealand's vast oceans and landscapes to some of the world's most urban cities and remote villages, visual inspirations such as exotic colour, pattern, texture and emotion started to inform Charlotte's work.
It was whilst traveling through Rajasthan in Northen India on her travels, that her passion for collecting gemstones was ignited, in Japan she was taught traditional knotting techniques, and on her return home her father, who ran a successful jewellery company throughout the 1980s, gifted Charlotte his tools and materials to help initiate the start of her very own jewellery line.
Once back in her native New Zealand, she embarked on studies at Elam School of Fine Arts to further develop her practice. Having worked across a number of mediums over many years, including sculpture, installation, fabric and textiles, paper-making, painting, photography, film, carving and jewellery, Charlotte combines her knowledge of material and process to create wearable pieces that are both unique and distinct in aesthetic.
Inspired by botanical and anatomical drawings and with a love of mid-century design, architecture, modern art and antique jewellery, Charlotte incorporates these elements into both her artwork and jewellery. Her style is feminine and classic with hints of the unexpected. Every piece is lovingly designed and made, with a handmade quality to all of her work.
"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."
OUR TEAM
We are a small, passionate team devoted to timeless design, classic foundations and unique details that make each piece meaningful and special. We create jewellery that feels considered, personal and made to be loved for many years to come. Our work is guided by a deep love of beauty and a desire to make keepsake pieces that feel intimate and connected to life’s moments, both big and small. Every piece begins with intention and is crafted to be worn, cherished and eventually passed down.
Charlotte works closely with her studio team Layla, Mazey and Bella, who support the day to day rhythm of the studio, client care, design development and the many small details that bring each collection and bespoke commission to life. Together, we hold a calm and thoughtful creative space where ideas, materials and stories are shaped into jewellery that is personal and tells a story.
Alongside our custom design and bespoke work, we create small collections that reflect our love of organic form, mid century influences, natural gemstones and quiet, sculptural beauty. These collections are represented at Auckland Art Gallery, Tessuti, the Auckland Museum and selected boutiques throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our custom service is available in studio and online for Auckland based clients. For remote and international clients, we offer a warm and hands on online process that keeps you involved at every step, from initial conversations and sketches to gemstone choices and the design process. We believe the journey is just as special as the finished piece, and we take care to make it personal, collaborative and enjoyable.
At the heart of our practice is the belief that jewellery holds memory and meaning. These are precious objects that become part of a person’s life story, deepening their connection to themselves and to the ones they love.
