Since first exhibiting in London at the Chelsea Crafts Fair in 1993 (where she won the New Exhibitor's Award) British designer Emma Farquharson has embraced a career on both sides of the Atlantic. After spending six years in New York where she successfully sold her innovative, sculptural designs in the Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Boston Museum of Art, Emma returned to London where she exhibits regularly and is now based.

Emma's designs combine the innovative with the traditional using a technique of wire wrapping in silver and gold which she calls 'Spun' to create chokers, brooches,
bangles, rings and earrings. Some pieces are embellished with bright and richly coloured gem stones such as chrysoprase, tourmaline, turquoise and Peruvian opal.

The forms of nature, cosmology, architecture and mechanical details, for example a coiled spring, underpin most of her conceptual ideas and completed designs. Emma loves the technical process of making which allows the materials to direct and inform her work. She sees her work as a dance between technique, material and design.
