i’m emma, the designer and maker behind emmakatefoxjewellery
i live in the small thames-estuary town of leigh-on-sea and make all my jewellery at home in a converted loft space.
how it started
whilst working as a content editor in london i enrolled in a silver jewellery for beginners short course. and it pretty much went from there. a few years later i left my full time content role and started working part time in a contemporary jewellery gallery & shop as a sales assistant. this is also when i began working on my first collection.
a few years and a relocation to essex later, i am now working full time on emmakatefoxjewellery
my style
over the years i have experimented a great deal with different materials and techniques, but silver is by far my favourite material to work with. i just love how soft and malleable it can be. i also love texture, organic forms, imperfection, playfulness, and pops of colour, and silver can do it all!
i don’t use wax to form my pieces, instead i opt for a design-by-making approach, which basically means if i think of something i want to make, i play around with the silver until i can make it, if it looks good i continue to work on it, if it doesn’t i melt it down and start again.
because i work directly with the metal in this way, it means every single one of my pieces is a one-off, and i think that is quite special!
other stuff
my jewellery is affordable as i mainly use sterling silver, there are the odd few pieces with gold, gold-filled, or fine silver
all gemstones come from trusted suppliers
