Penny Masquerade was founded in 2008 by Literature graduate and
jewellery designer Sarah Bratley. Sarah is inspired by Alice in
Wonderland, fairytales, France, afternoon tea, history, pirates, nature,
romance and writing. She loves the past and imbues her designs with
characteristics apparent in vintage and antique designs. For Sarah, the
beauty of design resides in the delicate intricacies that promote
curiosity and intrigue and in the elements related to the past contained
within a piece that evokes nostalgic sensations and transports the
wearer to a bygone era. It's Sarah's wish that every piece in her
collection takes the wearer somewehere, whether it be Victorian England,
18th century France or into the annals of their own private history.
