“A goal is just a dream with a deadline.”
There was never a moment that Emilie Shapiro didn't consider herself an artist. "Before I could speak," she says, "I expressed myself through what I made with my hands." While getting her degree in metalsmithing at Syracuse University, she spent a summer at Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School in Florence, Italy. "I have a massive stone collection that I started when I was two," and to spark inspiration, she says, "I usually pull out my drawers of gems and minerals and something catches my eye."

Okay, maybe not for the price…
I was excited to receive this as a gift from my wishlist, but when I opened it I was a little disappointed. The gold line is just a straight line and looks like a design choice vs the "broken" look of kintsugi. Additionally, I've only had it a month and it's starting to turn my neck green. Just not the quality I expected for the price.

My grandson loved this necklace
My grandson is very interested in the Japanese culture and wants to visit Japan some day. I gave him this necklace for his 12th birthday and he loved it! He already knew about Kintsugi from his research of Japan, so this was the perfect gift. We had a conversation about how something does does have to be perfect to be beautiful! Thank you so much to the artist for creating this. It is very special and I recommend it as a gift for a special person in your life. It teaches a very meaningful lesson.

A great gify
I bought this necklace as a gift for our daycare teacher and she loves it! She appreciated the meaning behind the technique and it is also a perfect every day necklace and great for layering too.
