“In 2012 I founded EMD and transformed my passion for working with my hands into a company that helps each customer find (or design!) the perfect piece of jewelry. Today, my goal remains the same--help customers look and feel their best with unique handmade creations and a marketplace showcasing local, female-owned makers.”
