The Este Earrings are a small charm with an old-world sensibility — a teardrop form edged with fine granular detail, suspended on a delicate french wire.
The charm is cast in recycled sterling silver and electroplated in 18k gold. Its form tapers to a point at the base, the smooth central teardrop framed by a border of small raised spheres that give it a jewel-like, almost Byzantine quality. The scale is intimate — worn close to the ear, the detail reads quietly rather than demanding attention.
Ornate in form, restrained in presence.

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.
