Before launching her own jewelry line, Emilie worked as a bench jeweler and production manager for various jewelry companies in New York City. Emilie also teaches jewelry workshops in her studio, as well as online classes offered on her website, and has taught at wonderful institutions like the 92Y, Brooklyn Brainery, Liloveve Jewelry Studio and more. Emilie is the author of How to Create Your Own Jewelry Line & Creative Wax Carving.
Emilie offers a class that is relaxing, engaging and informative. She modeled techniques and guided us as we learned to create structures to properly support any ring. Then, she set us free to make a ring in our own aesthetic. The class is lively and I learned a lot from watching my classmates. This class is on par with a class offered in an accredited school of jewelry design. I have gotten a firm understanding of the principles she modeled. She further supported each lesson with videos to both reinforce the lesson and to explain the cost of doing business. I really hope Emilie will offer classes in the future to allow us to advance.
