Meet Emma, founder of Gemz By Emz
Hi, I’m Emma Thomson. I founded Gemz By Emz in 2011, starting from my bedroom with a passion for creating meaningful keepsakes.
Today, I bring my professional photography and photo-editing experience to personalised jewellery, carefully preparing your memories for engraving.
More than a photograph
A photograph can hold a whole story. A familiar smile, a favourite person, a pet’s expression or a moment you wish you could keep close. A few handwritten words can feel just as precious.
Through Gemz By Emz, I help turn those personal details into something you can wear or carry. Some keepsakes celebrate a happy occasion. Others remember someone deeply missed. Whatever your reason for ordering, I know the image you share with me matters.
That’s why I take care over how it is prepared and how its detail will translate into an engraving.
Care in every detail
My background as a professional photographer and photo editor helps me bring out the details that make your photograph special. Before engraving, I carefully prepare your image with those details in mind.
Older, faded or damaged photographs can often be improved. If you’re unsure whether yours will work, send it to me for a free suitability check before ordering.
I’ll give you honest guidance, so you can choose your keepsake with confidence.
Supporting families through funeral homes across the UK
I work with funeral homes across the UK to help families create meaningful memorial jewellery and keepsakes.
From a cherished photograph to familiar handwriting or a loved one’s fingerprint, I carefully prepare each image for engraving, with respect for the memories it holds.
Your memories, your way
My collections include necklaces, bracelets, charms and personalised gifts, engraved with your photographs, handwriting, fingerprints and treasured prints.
Whether you’re celebrating someone special or remembering a loved one, you can choose a keepsake that feels personal to you. Each product page explains the options available and where to upload your images.
For something exclusive, explore my original designs registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office, personalised with the memories that matter most to you.
Let’s make something meaningful
If you have a photograph, a handwritten message or a print you’d love to use, I’d be delighted to help you find the right keepsake.
