Hi, I’m Emma — the hands behind Carriage House Jewelry.
This whole thing started as a late-night creative outlet.
After nearly a decade in the retail world, I craved something tangible. Something I could hold in my hands at the end of the day. When I found a silversmithing course out of California — one that let me learn from home, online, at my own pace — I was hooked.
What began as a hobby quickly became a passion. Now, it’s a business. One that’s just me, my torch, a small studio in Cincinnati, and the desire to make jewelry that feels as soulful and original as the people who wear it.
Why “Carriage House”?
It’s named after the 100-year-old carriage house I call home. It’s where I live, work, and make every single piece.
It’s imperfect, full of charm, and always evolving — just like my work.
No production lines. No big team. Just me, a torch, and a whole lot of heart.
Every piece is made by hand — start to finish.
I saw, solder, polish, and pack every item myself. I believe in the beauty of imperfection — pieces with soul and stories, not perfection and polish.
I work mostly in silver because I love how it evolves over time. I’m drawn to wild stones, unexpected textures, and colors that make you stop and stare. My work is inspired by nature, music, and the messiness of real life.
No two pieces are ever the same — and that’s the point.
Most pieces you’ll find here are one-of-a-kind or made in small batches. I also create semi-custom styles that let you choose your ring size, stone, or chain length — but even those are finished by hand in my studio.
This is slow, intentional jewelry. The kind you keep forever.
