I’m Emma—the mind behind C★C.

The Origin

Constellations & Creations was born in my college apartment, taking apart my own jewelry to design the perfect piece for a night out. In 2020, that late-night habit became a hobby to keep my mind off the pandemic’s isolation and health issues. It quickly became an obsession. I began tearing down old jewelry, mixing it with raw beads, and reshaping it into pieces I wanted to wear.

The Evolution

When I posted the results, the response was instant. Inquiries flooded in, and suddenly, designing was the only thing on my mind. The early days were pure hustle—hand-delivering orders on a moped, completely fueled by the magic of seeing someone connect with a piece.

The Philosophy

As the work evolved, I began sourcing vintage components, precious materials, and symbols that carry the warmth of home to create deeper, more intentional narratives. Constellations & Creations is rooted in connection and creativity. These pieces are handmade and designed by me, for you, to feel like a little bit of magic you can wear every day.

About the Gems

Material & Craft: I work with quality, lasting materials.

• Most commonly used: Gold‑fill for lasting shine and durability; Freshwater pearls and semi-precious stones; second-hand & vintage materials; ceramic, millefiori, seed, & tube beads.

Jewelry Care: Remove before water, sweat, or applying products. Store dry and out of sunlight. Seed beads may fade over time — handle with care.

Commissions: Timeline is dependent on the materials & design. Pricing is reflective of the time, labor, and craftsmanship that go into each piece.

Lead Times & Delivery: Local to Richmond, VA? Pickup or drop-off will be arranged. International? Message me or shop off depop. We’ll get this squared away (getting international shipping situated).

Guide: Gold-Fill vs Gold Plated:

  • Gold-Filled (GF) - Thick layer of real gold bonded to base metal. Durable, long-lasting, and hypoallergenic.

  • Gold-Plated (GP) - Thin gold layer electroplated on base metal. Less durable and wears off over time.
