Emily Howell

EMILY HOWELL, A LAGUNA BEACH JEWELRY DESIGNER, BEGAN CREATING ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AGO TO REFLECT FREE SPIRIT & INDIVIDUALITY. GEM'S BY EMILY ARE CREATED, BY HAND, WITH DISTINCT LITTLE TREASURES COLLECTED FROM GEM SHOWS, VINTAGE FLEA MARKETS, & EMILY'S FIRST PASSION - WORLD TRAVELS. EACH PIECE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLIMENT ONE'S OWN ECLECTIC STYLE.

WHAT BEGAN AS A HOBBY TWENTY YEARS AGO HAS BLOSSOMED INTO A CAREER THAT HAS TRANSITIONED FROM THOSE STRUNG BEADS TO WIRE-WRAPPED GEMSTONES. THEN CAME HER LOVE-AFFAIR WITH LEATHER. NOW, IN HER LATEST TRANSITION, SHE HAS ADDED METALSMITHING TO HER REPERTOIRE AND IS HAVING THE TIME OF HER LIFE CREATING THE COLLECTION BEING SHOWCASED AT THE FESTIVAL THIS SUMMER.
