TESTIMONIALS

“The Bespoke process was amazing! Not only was I surprised by how much work you put into understanding what I wanted in the beautiful ring you designed and made for me, it also made me feel like such a big part of it all. I got just exactly what I wanted and it is so special to me!!”

“When we find ourselves fumbling through the hardest times of our life may we be blessed to also find the strongest of souls to help guide us. Emma is not only an amazing artist but she’s also an incredible woman. I can’t thank her enough for just being who she is. She shares her story of loss in such an elegant light. The way she lost it all and threw herself into Jewelry and God is an inspiration.

I trusted her to remake a ring from my boyfriend who passed away this year. Emma Elizabeth Hoekstra you have completely blown my mind with this remake. Everyday I stare at my ring and smile. The Sleeping Beauty Terquoise stone is not only Jeff’s birth stone but it also has a small spec in the center that looks just like the freckle on his nose.

If you don’t know who Emma is, go check out her page! She’s a wonderful light and should be loved on. Go like/follow her stuff! ”

“Emma, I just received my most amazing cuff from you! Thank you for taking the time to pick out several gorgeous stones for me to choose from and being diligent and patient to ensure we found just the perfect one. It is stunning and truly one of a kind. A fantastic gift to myself at the end of a trying year. I can’t wait to see your beautiful pieces in person this summer. Thanks again.”

“Happy Birthday to me! I picked up my package today - always so much fun anticipating opening it! I love the ring. I haven’t worn a ring for over 20 years. I can’t tell I have this one on. The triangle symbol is important to me. And the amethyst earrings are gorgeous! I can’t tell I have them on! My poor old ears can’t support any weight. This design is beautiful and wearable. Thank you Emma Elizabeth Hoekstra”

“I first met Emma at JSD Studio in Grand Haven before she got famous 😎. I have several of her pieces and love her designs. Classic but edgy.”

“I honestly cannot stop purchasing Emma’s jewelry. I love her unique, modern, edgy style. Her pieces are crafted flawlessly. Then on top of all that, she is simply a joy to work with!! I’m already shopping for my next little treasure!”

“I first discovered EEJ at a local art festival. I’m a frequent art festival patron and have a discerning eye for jewelry. I knew right away that Emma’s jewelry was different than anything out there - it is not only unique, but exquisitely made. I had trouble narrowing down my purchase to one piece - I bought earrings, walked to my car, and had to turn back to buy the other pair I left behind! Since then, I’ve also bought a one-of-a-kind statement necklace and worked one-on-one with Emma to create a beautiful bespoke bracelet - silver and sapphires - which was a gift to myself for my 40th birthday. The process was easy. We did everything virtually and I was confident that I would love the final product - which I was! Check out her photos and you’ll see my beautiful piece!
I couldn’t be happier to support a better jeweler. And it’s worth mentioning that Emma is a beautiful person! She has been so open with her story, her process, and her passion for not only her craft but for people and the community. I frequent her social media pages and see her continuing to evolve as an artist. And I continue to shop EEJ - I just reached out to her again with another bespoke idea! Keep up the good work, Emma!”

“I first met Emma at the street fair in East GR and fell in love with her art!
My friend bought me the triangle ring and then I ordered 4 textured rings a few months after! They are so beautiful and I love!!! Not only is everything she makes amazing but she is such a genuine person also!”

“Emma is the best at what she does. We even got a chance to see her studio! It’s so clean and organized and through her little tour of the room, we could tell she really loves what she does and finds pure joy in it. My opal ring is my favorite piece I have! I wear it in place of my wedding bands! Thanks, Emma!”

“I first met Emma at a market in downtown GR and was immediately drawn to her eclectic designs. I have a major addiction to rings but am also very picky about the ones I add to my collection. To date, I have purchased 2 bands from her and they are amazing; comfortable, unique and stylish. I love the different textures and colors (I have one in silver and one in silver with blackened etches) Even better, they have not bent, tarnished, faded or broken like so many other rings I have worn. I get compliments on them all the time.
My mom also owns 2-3 rings from Emma. She was so happy to find that she had larger sizes available that fit over her knuckles, swollen from carpal-tunnel (and many hours in the kitchen baking) but were also comfortable enough to wear a little loose. She rarely would wear rings because they are uncomfortable and don’t fit properly but I often see these stacked on her hands since we bought them around Mother’s Day!
Thank you Emma, we will come back for more treasures and love to follow your insta to see what’s inspiring you!”

“Beautiful, creative, and innovative designs crafted with care by an artist as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside!”

“I have several pieces of Emma’s jewelry — and one piece that is one of a kind! The gold bar earrings I wear the most since they go with everything! Thanks Emma!”

“The BEST right-hand ring! I purchased two textured stacking rings in yellow gold. I gave one to my sister (a wonderful delicate and sentimental gift). The other has been gracing my hand ever since it arrived 6 months ago. I am REALLY particular about the rings I wear - and I haven’t taken this ring off yet! It’s perfect!”

“Emma taught me how to make my first piece of jewelry! We spent a few hours in her studio where she guided me through the process and gave me all kinds of information and resources to use moving forward. The day ended with me owning a beautiful ring of my own creation and left me filled with a whole bunch of excitement and inspiration.
Emma was an amazing teacher and is an extremely gifted goldsmith and creator.”

“I have several of Emma’s pieces and I can’t say enough good things about them! They are all unique but great for daily wear! Most of my pieces I rarely take off and they have held up great with little signs of wear!”

“Emma made bracelets for my bridesmaids and me for my wedding. Everyone raved about them. Even my non-jewelry-wearing sister loved it!”

“Emma made me two custom cuff bracelets, which I absolutely love! They are beautiful, well made and one of a kind!”

“Emma’s designs are my go-to’s right now! Favorites include my Beloved necklace with short bar earrings and a ring that is simply special made with a stone that I can never remember the name of ;)”

“Beautiful unique designs and amazing craft!! Definitely recommended!”

“She was so friendly and quick all of the way through my bespoke experience! From responding to messages and questions to drafting ideas to the execution and shipping. It was so fast, which is amazing because I was beyond excited to get my own unique piece. She did great honoring my desired budget range and handling payment was a breeze. Thank you Emma!!

“Very nice designs that aren’t over the top crazy. I especially like the personalized rings. Possible gifts for my girls”

“I love the unique designs my friend’s daughter, Emma, comes up with. Lenora you have good reason to be proud of her accomplishments! Emma will even custom design a special piece on request. Check her out!”

“Creative and beautiful. Her work will make you feel beautiful- If you are having a “low confidence day” just put on one of her pieces!”

“Her pieces are well made and unique! I highly recommend!”

“Truly unique designs that are not just appealing, but are easily incorporated into your daily life to add just the right amount of flare.”

“I just received my triangle ring and I absolutely love it! It is beautiful, bright sterling silver and the texturing on it is so gorgeous! Will definitely be a favorite!”
