Emma lives in Hove near Brighton, a stone's throw away from the sea. She first developed an interest in jewellery as a way of channelling the inspiration she found around her, on the beach and in the surrounding countryside.
What started as a hobby swiftly became a vocation; after a course at Brighton College in 2005, she followed up with work experience. Since then demand for her jewellery has grown by word of mouth and from exhibitions at Brighton & Hove Open Houses during Brighton Festival and at The Logan Studios in Yorkshire. The Open Houses have also bee a great showcase for new work, both in May and at Christmas.
Emma's work takes images she finds in nature; seaweed, razor clams and shells. She then abstracts them, creating random designs that play with asymmetry and scale. Emma works with stones but keeps them raw and naturally formed, combining them with silver to give an organic and dramatic effect. More recently she has been working with tiny semi precious beads such as red jade, black spinel, amethyst and a great favourite Chrysoprase.
The work exhibited here can be made to order and can be adapted to individual needs or special occasions. Emma also takes on one-off commissions and alterations.
