Emanuela Duca

Emanuela Duca, established in New York City in 2005, epitomizes the fusion of diverse influences and experiences. Inspired by my dual identities as a Roman citizen and a New York-based artist, my jewelry reflects a harmonious blend of ancient textures and modern simplicity. Each piece embodies a balance between earthy, highly textured surfaces reminiscent of volcanic ash and the sleek, minimalist aesthetics born from my New York sensibility.

Drawing from my background in sculpting, I craft each design by first sculpting in wax before forging and constructing in sterling silver and 18k gold, a process that allows for a continuous exploration of form and function. This approach infuses my creations with a sense of movement and fluidity, capturing the essence of both strength and vulnerability.

In my latest work, I’ve embraced a newfound openness to new possibilities, infusing radiance and color into my designs while maintaining the signature textured surfaces that define my style. Through this evolution, my jewelry continues to speak to a sophisticated approach to modernism, celebrating femininity while embodying a spirit of transcendent beauty.
