"I have always loved ribbons and embroidered ribbons in particular because of the delicate workmanship" says Emily, and the antique, embroidered, French ribbons used in these earrings are part of her personal collection. Each ribbon is strategically cut to portray a beautifully, abstracted representation of the full repeated design. Once the faceted stones are set, the ribbons shimmer and shine as if they were a natural part of the white quartz. Lining jewelry with ribbons is Emily's inventive method for adding a literal piece of history to her modern designs.
