The Emilie Gem Initial is hand-sculpted and cast using the traditional fine jewelry "lost wax" method, in 22K gold-dipped brass with crystal details. Our Creative Director, Tara, was inspired by the gilded paintings of Gustav Klimt in creating the series, named for Emilie Floge - one of Klimt's favorite muses, and his life companion. Tara forms each letter in clay before setting the faceted stones in place. The design then gets cast in lost-wax brass for an antique look reminiscent of the gold l Emilie Floge, Cool Fits, Gold Dipped, Lost Wax, Gustav Klimt, 22k Gold, Initial Necklace, Meaningful Gifts, Creative Director
