Artist Johanna Lindsay launched Penguina Designs in 2004 inspired by her goal to create beautiful & wearable jewelry that delights and inspires! Each item is its own work of art and no two pieces are alike.

Johanna's inspirations include classic movie-star glamour, mid-century modernism, the seasons of the beautiful Pacific Northwest and her grandmother, whose appreciation for unusual, elegant designs is a reminder that jewelry is meant to bring out our individual beauty.

Johanna especially enjoys developing pieces designed to compliment the styles of different women, from delicate and simple earrings to statement-making hammered sterling hoops and retro inspired necklace, brooch and earring designs.

Materials in Johanna's work include vintage beads, sterling and fine silver, freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones, her own custom designed hand stitched beads & lamp work beads, Czech glass and Austrian crystal.
