custom design
If you're looking for a special gift, or want to reinvent an existing piece of jewellery that has sentimental value but isn't quite your style, Emma can work with your ideas to create a piece of jewellery that is true to your own story.
Choose a variation on an existing design from the gallery or make an appointment to come into the studio and design a piece to your own specifications.
If you post a small sample of brick, sand, ashes or stone, it can be ground down and mixed through the concrete in the piece as a sentimental keepsake.
If you are somewhere other than Tasmania, you can reach Emma via the contact page to discuss design ideas.
