The Anahera Earrings by Charlotte Penman take their name from the Māori word for angel, a fitting reference for a design built around presence and protection.
A round bead of Russian jade is suspended from a fine 14k rolled gold chain, finished with a delicate French hook earwire. The jade's deep, slightly variegated green sits with quiet weight against the gold.
Created as part of Charlotte Penman's collaboration with the Auckland Museum in celebration of Matariki, the design carries a sense of guardianship and grace.
A modern talisman, subtle in scale and enduring in meaning.
Russian jade, round bead, 10mm
14k rolled gold chain and French hook earwire
Total hanging length: 28.5 x 10mm
ABOUT the MAKER
Charlotte Penman Jewellery
Charlotte Penman's jewellery draws on the natural world, 20th-century design icons, and the visual language of ancient adornment. Working in New Zealand with sterling silver, solid gold, and carefully sourced gemstones, she makes pieces that carry weight - not just in materials, but in reference and intention. Her designs range from sculptural rings set with natural stones through to fine gold necklaces and drop earrings - each one considered, each one with a clear point of view. The serpent, the sacred heart, the ginkgo leaf: motifs chosen for what they carry, worn for what they mean to the person wearing them. Pieces designed to be kept.
