Emi's Story

Hey!
I AM EMI

Founder and Designer of Emi Conner Jewelry - welcome to my little world brightened by the light of gemstones and their enchanting meaning.

I feel incredibly humbled to have been blessed with the life that I find myself living. Having moved from my home-country of Thailand in 2005 to explore the world and live the American dream, with the help of my husband and a select team of beautifully skilled craftspeople back home, I work to tailor an ever-evolving collection of fine jewelry that aspires to instill strength, positivity, and sparkle.

After almost 10 years working as a self-confessed computer geek, I longed for a way to be creative and embrace how nature inspires me every day. In 2010 I was presented with a hematite ring as a gift, I was fascinated with its energy and fell undeniably in love with the world of crystals, gemstones, and minerals. As my little collection flourished, I discovered that we could carry this positive energy wherever we go by wearing these stones as jewelry. The idea of forging delicate and meaningful pieces of art that could bring light to others captivated me, and so as my hands took to making jewelry, my imagination began to unfold.

"You need to find what sparks a light in you
so that you in your own way can illuminate the world."
-Oprah Winfrey.

For a long time, I worked to teach myself the art of jewelry-making; sculpting metals, discovering stones and figuring out how to use new tools and techniques. As my self-taught knowledge grew, my affection for the craft did too and so I set off to Stewart’s International School for Jewelers in Florida in pursuit of an adventure that would steer my new skill from fascination to devotion. Learning new ways to develop and perfect my craft, from traditional casting methods to diamond setting and jewelry repairs, I was able to build the courage I was looking for to turn my adventure into a real-life business, and so Emi Conner Jewelry was born.
