Our Story
Crafting timeless pieces with passion and purpose
The Beginning
Ethereal Gems was born from a passion for creating jewelry that tells a story. Our founder, Emma, started designing pieces at her kitchen table in 2015, inspired by the natural world and her travels across the globe.
What began as a creative outlet quickly blossomed into something more as friends and family started requesting custom pieces. Emma's background in fine arts and metalworking provided the foundation for what would become our signature aesthetic: elegant simplicity with thoughtful details.
In 2017, Ethereal Gems officially launched with a small collection of handcrafted necklaces and earrings. Today, we've grown into a team of skilled artisans who share a commitment to quality craftsmanship and sustainable practices.
