Emily has been making jewelry since elementary school when she first strung together a plastic pearl necklace from a jewelry-making kit that she got one Christmas . . . only to have it fall apart at the first wear. But don't worry, she's learned a lot about making lovely (and durable!) jewelry since then.
Emily's favorite design is a waterfall necklace with large beads, and she draws a lot of her inspiration from costume jewelry of the 30's and 40's. "I love gaudy, sparkly, colorful things that make me happy to look at and wear", she says. Along with jewelry, she loves books, vintage hats, stilettos and a good cup of licorice spice tea.
Emily works as a professional fundraiser, so working with the Soiree Project is a fun way to combine her love of jewelry with her passion for philanthropy. She loves the feeling of making something beautiful and knowing that it will support a beautiful cause.
