About
Drawing inspiration from the beauty of mortality, ancient manuscripts, talismanic adornment, and symbolism, Emily creates wearable objets d’art, made for the collector.
With a focus on wax carving, hand engraving, lapidary and traditional craft techniques, Emily handcrafts every piece of jewellery with meticulous care and intention.
Clients are invited to personalise their pieces through bespoke choices in stone, metal, and engraving; creating meaningful, storytelling adornments that transcend trends and celebrate individuality.
Sustainability
Since 2014, Emily has strived to create jewellery and objects that have a symbiotic relationship with nature. Designs are produced in England, in micro quantities or on a made-to-order basis. Materials and packaging are made with recycled materials and are designed to be reused and repurposed.
Emily has spent a decade committed to sustainability and environmental conservation, ensuring a transparent supply chain and over 2000 trees being planted. From 2022, a percentage of every sale is automatically deducted and donated to Shopify Planet to fund innovative technologies that fight climate change.
About The Maker
Emily Proudfoot is a multidisciplinary artist, fine jeweller, and hand engraver based in Leeds, England.
Raised in Yorkshire by artist and musician parents, she grew up surrounded by creativity, regularly visiting galleries, exhibitions, and live music events. After studying photography and fashion, she worked as a womenswear designer across independent, high-street, and luxury brands, where she became increasingly aware of the wastefulness of the fashion industry and the lack of emphasis on longevity and craft.
In 2013, after struggling with severe metal allergies and unable to find jewellery that reflected her style and values, Emily began making her own pieces. With no formal training, industry connections, or traditional route into the trade, she taught herself the craft and went on to launch her first collection in 2014.
Over the next decade, she developed her practice independently through relentless study, research, and hands-on making, building a reputation for creating substantial, intricately made pieces defined by quality and longevity. She later trained with master engravers and stone setters, refining her technical skills and deepening her commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
Today, Emily creates fine jewellery and hand-engraved works that explore individuality, connection, and the stories held in objects we keep. Relaunched under her own name in 2023, her practice is shaped by perseverance, curiosity, and a deep respect for craft, with each piece designed to be worn, treasured, and passed on.
