Emily Amey

New York based jeweler Emily Amey has always possessed an independent spirit. Growing up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, she always dreamed of bigger things. In her early 20's, she moved to NYC and immersed herself in the downtown culture teaming with artists and independent designers. She knew she needed to find her own artistic voice and began to study metal smithing at FIT.An obsessive traveler, collector, gardener and interior designer, Emily's many passions influence her design sensibility. She loves bold rich juicy colors and has traveled the globe with a keen eye for selecting the most vibrant gemstones. From the souks of Marrakech, to the bazaar of Istanbul, and the gem shows of Tucson and Hong Kong, Emily has met with hundreds of small operation miners and gem cutters. She takes great pleasure in forming friendships, learning about different cultures, and knowing first hand where each of these unique treasures originates.
