I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee in 1998. I studied Jewellery and Metalwork at Degree level and was awarded First Class Honours. I went on to start my business, Emma Jay Jewellery. I design and make contemporary jewellery, which is sold through galleries and specialist shops all over the U.K. I began to make Tiaras after deciding to get married myself! I realised that although there are lots of beautiful gowns available, most tiaras are very traditional and fussy. There seemed to be a lack of simple, stylish designs. I launched my designs at 'The National Wedding Show' at the N.E.C. in Birmingham in October 2001 and have been deluged with enquiries ever since. All my designs are handmade to order and are made in solid silver, if gold is required then I make the tiara in Silver first and then have it plated in 22ct Gold. The Tiaras are designed with ergonomic bases that fit perfectly on any head, they also all have loops to secure them with hair grips, so they will be comfortable and secure all day long.
