Inspired by art, pop culture and vintage designs Emerick is always keeping up on what’s new and unique. Each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind, created with passion made by experimenting with different colors and textures. The different materials used for each piece include glass beads and pendants, steel and silver wire, sterling sliver accents, Lucite, crystal, semi-precious stones and vintage beads and pendants from the ‘20s to the ‘80s.

Emerick mainly designs necklaces and earrings and occasionally a matching bracelet or ring upon request in styles ranging from dainty and classic to kitschy and bold. Her portrait necklaces are incredibly unique using details of Renaissance and Impressionistic painting, particularly images of the Madonna or angels, as well as some contemporary images, which she turns into glass pendants. When she is creating a necklace for a specific person, she’s inspired by their style, trying to design something perfect to fit that person.

Her jewelry can be purchased at Glam to Go, 2002 W. Roscoe in Chicago or Tribeca, 2480 N. Lincoln in Chicago. To ask about hosting a Wired Jewelry party, please contact Sarah at 773-419-4127.

I'm inspired by… art in all its forms.

My next move is… to explore more of Chicago's great boutiques. I'd to see
what some other designers are doing, and I'd love to expand my line to more
places in the city. I need to find my niche.

My future plan is to… continue designing jewelry, and to always keep it new.
I hope to never fall into a rut. I'm constantly hunting for new materials,
styles, and inspirations, and my passion to create unique things keeps me
going. I hope to expand to more shops, and continue to find people
receptive to what I'm doing.

I have to buy… about a thousand CDs and books on my ever-growing wish list,
and tickets to see Johnny Marr next week. As far as jewelry materials, the
hunt never ends. I always find the best things when I'm not even looking
for them.
