Emily Claire LLC was founded by artist and designer Claire Jacobs in early 2008. Discovering a passion for art at a young age, Claire pursued her artistic interests through drawing and painting. Continuing this interest at the collegiate level, she studied the art at Clemson University, obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking.
Later, Claire attended the Penland School of Crafts to learn the art of metalsmithing for jewelry. While attending Penland, she discovered an affinity for the techniques of metalsmithing and became intrigued with how jewelry could communicate aspects of a person’s identity and viewpoint. Shortly after, the Emily Claire Jewelry line was born.
All Emily Claire jewelry is handcrafted using sterling silver and 18K gold. An estimated 80% of the metal used in these designs is either recycled or reclaimed.
