Inspired by nature, 20th century icons, antiquity jewels and dreamy Balearic beaches, Charlotte works with precious metals and a range of gemstones. She has studied design, fine art, film and jewellery making and brings all these elements together to create unique, thoughtful and feminine collections.

In 2019 Maya Pellizzaro-Hurrell joined forces, and the pair work from a bespoke studio in Devonport, collaborating to create timeless collections for the Auckland Art Gallery, the Museum and iconic boutiques since.

Gemstones are featured throughout many of her ranges. Found in exotic locations from Madagascar to Alaska, from the Czech Republic to New Mexico, each gemstone has its own story. Charlotte and Maya love to work with them, combining them with gold and silver to create new forms that enhance their natural beauty. Each Charlotte Penman piece is designed with love and to compliment the female form. Her jewellery can be worn as armour, amulet and keepsake.
