Emmy Bean Jewelry

Hi! I'm Emily Kitt. I'm an award-winning jewelry artist and instructor with over 25 years of experience, and a whole lot of passion. I first learned metalworking while in college and studying Art Education at Kutztown University, and it quickly became something I couldn't live without. I worked in the book publishing world for 10 years while tinkering away in the studio during downtime from work. I continued learning new techniques, was part of a wonderful jewelry artist collective (Bluestem Studio), and when the collection parted ways, I set out on my own.

Now, I'm a full time jewelry artist based out of Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Thanks to primarily selling my work online, I have clients across the globe. My jewelry has been featured by industry leaders Interweave and Rio Grande, published in magazines, and has received numerous awards. I participate in a handful of art shows and markets each year, and despite not having a brick-and-mortar presence, I can still meet with clients who prefer face-to-face communication versus email.

Creating jewelry is my passion, as is adhering to eco-friendly methods and materials... it's not just better for the earth, but healthier for myself and anyone else who spends time in my studio. The majority of my pieces are one of a kind; I feel that each person is unique, so their jewelry should be, too! I'm lucky enough for my dream job to be a full time gig, and it's all thanks to wonderful people like yourself who support independent artists who make each piece by hand.

Along with creating jewelry, I also teach jewelry classes and workshops at the Baum School of Art in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
