At Emily Chelsea Jewelry, we offer meaningful pieces that embody self-expression and acceptance. We aim to forge lasting relationships with clients, evolving from the local jeweler who designed their rings to their trusted partner for life’s significant moments.

CORE VALUES
We’ve distilled our commitment into 4 cornerstone values:
Quality Craft and Expert Design
Each piece of Emily Chelsea Jewelry is a miniature piece of wearable artwork thoughtfully designed and meticulously produced to meet our quality standards. We believe in a 360° design approach – your jewelry should be beautiful from every angle, and it is often the hidden details that make a piece special to the owner.
Ethical Sourcing and Supply
Where the materials come from is as important as the finished piece. Fair wages, optimal working conditions, minimal environmental impact, and profits that benefit local communities are practices we embrace.
Inclusivity and Marriage Equality
Jewelry is for everyone: traditions do not limit our imaginations in our approach, environment, processes, and design. Emily Chelsea Jewelry is an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and welcomes all couples. We believe that marriage is for everyone and we support and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. You will not find gender specific categories on our website or in the shop as our jewelry is made to be as expressive as you are. While shopping with us, you will experience acceptance and a welcoming atmosphere as you embark on an exciting new journey in your relationship, one that truly deserves celebration.
Community
As a jewelry design house deeply rooted in Philadelphia, our commitment extends beyond the borders of our beloved city. We have a responsibility to the communities in which we operate. From the dedicated craftspeople in our Jewelry District to the mining communities that provide our precious materials, we recognize the interconnectedness of our global industry. Just as the beverages we serve our clients reflect our dedication to our local, small businesses, our charity support reflects our core values and belief in giving back. Whether it’s within the jewelry industry or the broader communities we engage with, our aim is to source, purchase, and donate responsibly, ensuring that our impact is both meaningful and positive.
