Caesura Studio

A caesura is a break or a pause in a line of text.  Like many people, Emma lost her job when the COVID-19 pandemic began. One day, a few months into lockdown, she broke a beautiful, hand-painted bowl she bought in Morocco. After that break, she paused and wondered what new thing she might make out of the pieces. That is when she began her adventure into the world of handmade jewelry.

Armed with a Dremel and a curious spirit, Emma has created a few different lines of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that celebrate the unexpected joys our global pause has made possible. They honor, for example, the ability to savor nature and its gifts, the simplicity of creating something by hand, the fun of reconnecting with family and old friends, and the time to come up with the alternate company name: "This Jewelry ROCKS!"

I feel very strongly that, considering the state of the world, I should give back in any way I am able, so 30% of proceeds will support a different charitable organization each month.

In November and December, we raised upwards of $130 for the Black Voters Matter Fund. In April and May, we’re giving to The Breathe Network so we can help survivors of sexual violence to heal.
