ABOUT US

Emi's Story

Born in Korat, Thailand, Emi Conner is the creative force behind Emi Conner Jewelry, a brand founded on the belief that gemstones are more than just stones—they are carriers of light, meaning, and beauty. Her journey began in her hometown and eventually led her to the United States in 2005, where she pursued the American dream with determination and the unwavering support of her husband.

With a talented team of artisans back in Thailand, Emi curates a constantly evolving collection of fine jewelry designed to add beauty and a touch of sparkle to the lives of those who wear it.

After a decade of working as an IT professional, Emi felt a growing desire for a creative outlet that would reconnect her with her love for nature. In 2010, that spark was ignited when she received a hematite ring as a gift. Captivated by its energy and beauty, she discovered a deep passion for the world of crystals, gemstones, and minerals.

Inspired by the idea of carrying positive energy through wearable art, Emi began to explore jewelry-making. She started as a self-taught artist, learning to sculpt metals, solder, and identify gemstones through countless hours of practice. As her passion grew, she sought formal training at Stewart’s International School for Jewelers in Florida. There, she mastered traditional casting, diamond setting, and jewelry repair, transforming her passion into a profession.

In 2012, armed with confidence, expertise, and a deep love for her craft, Emi founded Emi Conner Jewelry. Today, her brand reflects her journey—blending her Thai heritage, her connection to nature, and her commitment to creating meaningful, delicate pieces that brighten lives.

World-Class Craftmanship

Our story began with Emi, pouring her heart and soul into every piece of jewelry she created. From designing and soldering to polishing and stone setting, she did it all by hand, driven by a passion for crafting meaningful, one-of-a-kind designs.

In 2018, as her designs gained recognition, Emi found her first helper in Bangkok, Thailand—a city that holds deep personal and professional significance.

Thailand is celebrated worldwide as a premier hub for fine jewelry. Renowned for its unmatched craftsmanship, it is home to many of the world’s most exquisite jewelry brands. For Emi, choosing Thailand wasn’t just about tapping into this expertise; it was about honoring her roots. By partnering with an American-owned casting company in Bangkok (UnitedPM) and collaborating with a small, family-run jewelry studio, she embraced the best of both worlds.

In this intimate workshop, a dedicated team of 3-5 highly skilled artisans meticulously handcrafts each piece. Their work combines traditional and modern techniques, ensuring the highest quality while preserving the artistry and individuality that make our designs unique. Unlike mass production, every piece reflects our deep respect for craftsmanship, care, and detail.

We take immense pride in our Thai-made jewelry, showcasing the country’s heritage, artistry, and world-class skill. When you wear Emi Conner Jewelry, you’re not just wearing something beautiful—you’re celebrating craftsmanship, culture, and the magic of timeless design.
