Nearly 45 years have passed since Penny Preville launched her designer collection. However, that’s not where the story begins. In order to understand the meaning and purpose Penny puts into each piece, you must go all the way back to her grandmother’s jewelry box. From an early age, Penny found jewelry precious and mystical — something to be cherished with deep meaning. She also thought jewelry should also be practical and reflect the wearer’s individual style. Since the 1970s, every collection Penny has created has reflected this philosophy, as well as her fascination with the treasures she found in her grandmother’s vintage jewelry. Her personal explorations have taken her to the stars, moon, and beyond — a vast and unexplored wonder that has shaped her Galaxy collection. The Galaxy collection has been a fan favorite as women around the world have come to adore the sparkle of the night’s sky adorning their wrists, necklines, or hanging from their ears. But much like everything else in space, the Galaxy collection
has expanded and transformed to include rainbow sapphires. With diamonds, Penny captured the sparkle of the night sky, mimicking every twinkling star. Now, with the rainbow sapphires, she has captured all the wonders of the cosmos and the colors that fill the Milky Way. She also makes sure to use only the best in mixed materials that symbolize the diversity of everything we know to be found throughout the cosmos. Some might say the galaxy hangs in a random distribution of gas and elements, but for Penny, the galaxy represents a vast wonder of perfectly placed starts and dust. Penny incorporates this vision into each rainbow Galaxy piece by utilizing the most brilliant sapphires and meticulously placing them into each bangle, crescent moon necklace, or earring. Each piece in the Galaxy collection is an exceptional blend of fine craftsmanship and Penny’s eye for detail. Her ideas and heirloom-quality jewels constantly show up on the red carpet but are just as perfect for the everyday woman — something Penny is quite proud of.
