About me

Emily Snadden is a 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.
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 internationally acclaimed, award winning work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. 

“As a jeweller I am driven by the process of design and manufacturing – my practice evolves from a process of specimen collecting in the bush to photographing and sketching prior to creation. My work is a reflection of my personal connection to Tasmania and a love for our unique landscape and flora; I hope to capture intricate and delicate details and textures within the Tasmanian landscape.”
