‘The spirit of the ocean in every piece’
Emma’s unique jewellery collections are inspired by the shimmering of light over water. Each hand-made piece captures the perpetual motion of ocean waves. Her eye-catching surfaces are hand-crafted in precious metals using specialist techniques and hand-made tools at her Devon workshop. Luxurious 24ct gold plated surfaces and her award winning ‘Liquid Sun’ brooch are inspired by dramatic sunsets at sea.
Emma’s jewellery has a definitive nautical feel, with echoes of ships and portholes, rolling waves and glistening pebbles. Each piece is designed to capture the spirit of the ocean.
