Emily Nixon Ocean-Inspired Jewelry – Audry Ros

FAQ

Emily Nixon creates her jewelry from her studio in West Cornwall, where the coastline is a constant source of inspiration. Seaweed, pebbles, shells, and other objects found along the shore influence the shapes and textures in her work. She uses traditional lost wax casting and hand-shaped details to give her jewelry its recognizable organic look.

Lost wax casting begins with a model created in wax. The wax is surrounded by a mold material and then melted away, leaving a space that can be filled with molten metal. Emily shapes and works directly with wax as part of her process, allowing the marks and textures created by hand to carry through into the finished jewelry.

Yes. Because Emily works by hand and uses individual natural gemstones, there can be subtle differences between pieces. Variations in shape, texture, color, and the stones themselves are part of what gives her jewelry its character.

Emily Nixon works with solid gold and natural gemstones, including sapphires, tourmalines, and diamonds. She often chooses stones for their unusual colors, shapes, and natural characteristics, which work beautifully with the organic forms of her jewelry.

Emily often works with the individual shape and character of a gemstone in mind. Rather than making every stone conform to exactly the same setting, her hand-shaped designs allow the gold and gemstone to work together, especially when she uses unusual cuts and naturally varied stones.

Emily’s settings often have a hand-shaped, organic quality rather than perfectly uniform lines. The gold can curve and form around the individual gemstone, making the setting itself an important part of the design rather than simply something that holds the stone in place.

Many Emily Nixon pieces have individual variations because of the way they are made and the natural gemstones she works with. Even when a design is repeated, differences in texture, shape, and stone can make each version feel a little different from the next.

Many Emily Nixon rings can be worn often, but care will depend on the gemstone and individual design. Natural gemstones vary in durability, so we recommend checking the details for your specific ring and removing it during activities that could scratch or damage the stone or setting.

Emily Nixon jewelry has a look that’s difficult to mistake for traditionally finished fine jewelry. Her hand-shaped forms, textured gold, unusual gemstones, and connection to the Cornish coast give the collection a character that feels distinctly her own.
