About

Emily Snadden is a formally trained Tasmanian jeweller renowned for her distinctive botanical style. Her signature designs are both detailed and intricate – reflecting upon the forms, textures and uniqueness of our native flora. Her work is the result of thoughtful considerations from collected bush specimens, these wearable treasures are both intricately detailed and refined.

Emily's work utilises recycled metal and ethically sourced gemstones wherever possible. She is highly sought after for her unique approach to design and the incorporation of native Australian gemstones. 


Formally trained as a manufacturing jeweller, Emily’s attention to detail and consideration of form results in a considered contemporary range which is both unique and timeless. Her award winning work has been exhibited both locally and internationally.
