Custom Designs
A story you can wear. A memory you can anchor. A symbol made matter.
A story you can wear. A memory you can anchor. A symbol made matter. The custom projects we create at Emwa Jewelry are a deep dive into what matters most in your life at this moment. A cherished person who has passed. A friendship you want to mark and honor. An energy you want to embody, yet that you often forget, carried by the fast pace of life.
Each piece begins with a conversation, a pause, a moment to connect to what truly matters to you. We translate that essence into gold, gemstones, textures and forms, so it can accompany you each day.
These creations are made to hold meaning over time, quietly present on your body, alive with story. I open only a few custom design spaces each season, to give each one the attention and presence it deserves. If something is calling — a moment to mark, a feeling to carry, a symbol ready to take form — you are welcome to share a few words with me, and we will begin the conversation.

“When I look at the ring I created to honor my grandmother, Odile, I always feel she is with me. Carrying that gold piece - knowing it can stay on me, with me, every single day - and remembering how it connects me to her feels so dear to my heart. Then, looking in the mirror and seeing my necklace, made to remind me of my joyful essence, my need for laughter, dance, and art in life, reminds me to take care of that - today, now - if I have not yet focused on it”

Past projects & stories
The first step: feeling into the connection.
Our journey begins with a simple conversation, to meet and confirm that we feel a connection, and that we are meant to create together. As I take on only one project each month, to give it my full attention and care, each collaboration is chosen with intention. This first exchange brings quiet clarity. When it is right, we both feel it.
To begin, fill out this short questionnaire. Once received, I will reach out to schedule a 30-minute meeting—online or in person—where we can explore your vision more closely. I will ask you a few questions, listen carefully, and begin to imagine how this piece might come to life.
By the end of our conversation, you will have a clear understanding of the estimated budget, and we will both know—naturally and without pressure—if we wish to move forward together.
Part 2: Sketching & refining until a true yes comes.
Then, your story will begin to take form through sketches and drawings. Not from a fixed idea, but rather from a feeling, a thread, a shape that starts to emerge. Sometimes it’s immediate — a clear image that wants to be born. Other times, it takes a few iterations. Week by week I will share these sketches with you, and we will refine them together, adjusting until something in you says yes.There’s no rush, this process is about creating something that resonates deeply. A piece that feels absolutely stunning, where every detail has a reason to be.
Part 1: Listening to the messages you want to infuse & the look you love
In our second meeting, we take the time for a deeper exchange. I will invite you to share more about your story, what matters most to you, and what you wish to honor through this piece. You will be invited to bring visual inspirations—a Pinterest board, colors, textures, or forms that speak to you—and together, we begin to unfold your universe.
With experience and sensitivity as my compass, I often intuit shapes, symbols, or words you may not have spoken yet—but that feel instantly true. This is the moment when the essence of the piece begins to quietly take form.
Part 3: Creating as a ceremony and transfromation
Then, in the studio, I begin the making of your jewelry — with full presence, and deep care for the process. Each step is done with intention. I stay connected to the meaning of what we’re shaping, and share updates — photos, videos — for you to give your inputs, and understand that you are entirely part of the process. Often, I will ask you questions as I feel into the details. You are never just receiving the finished piece — you are part of the creation, from start to end.
Part 4: A story to carry forward
Finally, after many hours of careful work, your piece is ready.
Made of precious materials, it now carries something personal — a memory, a message, a moment you wanted to honor. A quiet truth you want to keep close. It is here to walk with you, to be worn and lived with, close to your skin and your daily life, as an anchor.
However it settles into your world, my hope is that it brings presence, meaning, and a sense of quiet strength — something that gently reminds you of who you are, and what matters most.

Custom Made Creations & their Stories
-
Maud’s grandmother had owned a gold bangle bracelet since she was very young. She later gifted the same bracelet to Maud’s mother when she turned fifteen, continuing a special family tradition.In May 2023, Maud and her family contacted me with some of their collected heirloom gold, hoping to recreate that meaningful bracelet for Maud and her sister. After discussing ideas together, they decided remaking that same cherished bangle design would allow Maud and her sister to carry on the tradition.
Using the extra gold, Maud also asked me to craft a solid Odile ring to honor past grandmothers in their family. The new bracelets and ring would link Maud and her sister both to the women who came before them and to each other, carrying forward these family treasures for years to come. -
Nandish came to me with a meaningful vision - to craft a unique engagement band himself to offer when he asks for his beloved's hand. Through our conversations, the ring took shape, imbued with personal touches that would make it truly theirs. Nandish wanted only the finest 18k gold to encapsulate their bond. The design we forged together combines three interlocked bands, subtly reminiscent of signatures which come together as one. Elegant in its simplicity, it would lend beauty and meaning to every ordinary day she wears it.
Over two treasured afternoons, I guided Nandish in bringing life to this emblem of their promise. The final ring emerged as a one of a kind creation, ready to hold within it a future of shared dreams. -
Having already crafted a symbol of their betrothal, Sam and Roxane returned to commemorate their marriage with rings that would speak of an unending union. Through our collaboration emerged bands as distinct as the two they represented, yet bound eternally as one.To reflect Sam's stature and Roxane's delicate frame, I forged two rings of markedly different sizes, sculpted in harmony despite their contrast. As Sam slips the diminutive band onto Roxane's lithe finger, one envisions a bough gently curled in upon itself - beautiful in its natural form.
His own ring sits heavier on the hand, evoking the sturdy trunk whence the branch extends. Together they depict nature's inseparability - rings without seam that have neither beginning nor end. While created as distinct entities, they take their fullest form and deepest meaning when standing side by side. -
For years, Salomé had worn a meaningful stone gifted by her beloved brother, carrying him with her always. Yet the informal setting meant it never sat quite right. Eager to properly honor him, Salomé contacted me to finally craft a fitting tribute for the stone. Together, we designed an elegant necklace to display her brother’s gem with the dignity it deserved. No longer precariously encased, the stunning centerpiece now rests securely, amplified by subtle metalwork that accentuates its inner fire.

For her 30th birthday, Ella's mother gifted her a ring that belonged to her late grandmother. Though Ella has fond memories of her grandmother, the large ring didn't suit her style. Ella contacted Emma to redesign the ring into three smaller pieces - one with the sapphire and two stackable diamond rings. Emma collaborated closely with Ella throughout the process, ensuring the redesign captured the sentimental value. She even found a way to repurpose extra diamonds into her cousin's wedding ring, spreading more love. The final rings were presented during an emotional meeting where Ella, her mom, Emma and her cousin felt connected to Ella's grandmother.

Gustav created a necklace for his wife, Lina. In their tradition, offering a gift the day after the wedding is very important. Since their son, Bjorn was born, they have always called him Lilla Bjorn, little bear. We therefore crafted a necklace illustrative the little bear constellation, but full of elegance & finess.
Gabi’s testimony
















"Emma is fantastic. After Sam bought one of the rings from her collection as engagement ring... We immediately thought about her when we discussed our wedding bands. We went to her with an idea and she turned it into reality. She sent us the prototypes of the rings in very short time and they were already perfect 🥰 We loved chatting with her and discussing ideas. We can't wait to have another jewellery project in our head just to work with her again." Rox & Sam

"We called on Emma for a rather special request. We had some old jewelry belonging to my grandmother. Unfortunately, they were no longer to our taste. So my mom and my sister and I wanted to create something that would unite the three of us. As my mom already had a gold band, we decided to ask Emma to create 2 other identical bands, as well as a ring from her existing collection. Emma listened, advised and, above all, explained the whole creation process! We were really able to follow the whole process, step by step. I'm so happy to have called on her magnificent talent and creativity for this project, which was very close to our hearts. What's more, supporting a young craftswoman was essential for us."
