Our Story
EMA INIGO:JONES
With over a decade of experience in both the fine art and the diamond industry, Ema Inigo-Jones has united her passions to create her eponymous jewellery brand. Her journey began with a deep dedication to each field—training in fine art and building a career within the diamond industry. Ema blends these two worlds, creating a distinctive aesthetic that reflects her love for timeless elegance with an edge.
Driven by her specific vision, she has sought to create pieces that merge traditional diamond jewellery with a bolder, darker allure. Ema’s pieces aren’t just jewellery; they’re heirlooms crafted to carry stories of empowerment and resilience across generations.
For Ema, jewellery is like social armour, a way to emphasise oneself, beliefs, and style.
“Every day is like going into battle, I want women to be able to put on magnificent pieces that make them feel confident and beautiful. Something they can gather strength from.”
Each piece of jewellery is meticulously handcrafted in London, UK. Ema personally oversees the entire process, from the initial concept to the final polish, ensuring that every piece upholds her exacting standards for quality and artistry. Working closely with skilled local artisans, she combines traditional techniques with her signature aesthetic, creating jewellery that is as enduring as it is distinctive.
“The snake symbol is so important to me, and something that inspires my jewellery design and my fine art practice. It’s an ancient symbol of femininity and womanhood, an embodiment of cunning, strength, power, wisdom. Snakes denote such a key connection to the Earth and really epitomise what the brand is about.”
Our Design Philosophy
INSPIRATION
Having long been a hoarder of images, Ema’s inspiration comes from far and wide; everything from fashion, to film, fine art, and antique design. Heart and soul goes into every design, with each detail carefully considered. When you go out into the world, you use every tool at your disposal to arm yourself. Jewellery is no exception.
CRAFTSMANSHIP AND QUALITY
In alignment with Ema’s background as a London-born artist, we are nestled in the heart of Hatton Garden, giving us the ability to have our jewellery meticulously crafted by local artists with decades of expertise, whilst being a part of every step of the journey. We use 100% recycled gold and Kimberly Process natural diamonds.
EXPRESSION AND EMPOWERMENT
Our bold designs, with antique sentiment, symbolise strength, resilience and unapologetic femininity, allowing individuals to find pieces that resonate with their unique identity. Each piece is like armour, empowering the wearer to embrace their inner power, embody the spirit of dark femininity, and face the outside world confidently.
