(more)Emilie Shapiro's work is inspired by natural elements and heavily driven by experimentation and process. She incorporates rough, natural gemstones celebrating beauty in imperfections. For a primitive yet modern feel, Emilie casts gemstones in place so they are embedded in the metal to represent a marriage of materials. Emilie uses sustainable business practices by avoiding harsh chemicals in her studio, using recycled metals and packaging materials and working with vendors who share the same ethos. All jewelry is handmade is Emilie's studio in New York City.
