Emma Brooke was always the one playing with her jewelry. Now, she creates jewelry worth playing with.
Emma creates inventive, kinetic jewelry with a focus on the experience of touch and play. Beyond being an avenue for her own exploration of movement and form, it's her hope that her jewelry can help remind us as adults to pause, ground, breathe, and take a moment to connect with movement.
Emma Brooke Jewelry is (imagined, designed, prototyped, refined, scrapped, started-over, finished, inspired, and)... made with love, in Portland, Oregon. Emma's love for kinetics began as a joking college "research project," collecting and documenting the nervous habits of her peers and friends, and creating jewelry in response.
Especially as students, many of us grew up with the narrative that fidgeting was "bad." That it was unprofessional, distracting, or disrespectful. But that didn't sit right with Emma's experience of the brilliant peers around her.
Her 2015 exhibition, "The Fidgets," aimed to challenge this narrative, by reclaiming fidgeting, grounding, stimming, and playfulness as celebrated facets of our expression and identity.
Years later, Emma continued to find herself drawn to kinetics in sculpture, machinery and jewelry. Her designs are an exploration of engineering, movement, and play.
