I’ve certainly learnt a lesson I would like to share and that is to be wary of the technological beast - stick with things you can trust like a fun fine jewelry collection called Emma-Jane & Tan.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a fab 2008!

We’ve been busy preparing for a trade show which starts Monday and finishes Wednesday. For any retailers out there that are interested in viewing our collection we are at booth #2944 at Accessorie Circuit.

I’ll be in touch after the show!

Hi and welcome to the new and improved Emma-Jane & Tan website! I’m Emma, co-founder of EJT. With creative input from Chris, I design the Emma-Jane & Tan collection.

Chris and I started the company about three years ago and it’s been an incredible learning experience. From our first wholesale trade show, where we moved into the exhibit space in a snow blizzard and were, somewhat embarrassingly, the only booth without lights, to now, where, at the very least, we’ve learned that we do need lights at trade shows :) (You can learn more about Chris and me – and Pippa the pug! – on the about page.)

Our designs are based on looking at the lighter side of life, which is something I try to put into practice on a daily basis. I learned this attitude from my grandparents, who would often remind me not to stress out too much and to enjoy life. They led by example, my grandfather skiing until he was 90, and my grandmother, at 87, teaching me a dance involving patting each other’s bums… a little racy, but fun nonetheless!

If you’d like to share stories of people and/or events that taught you to not take life too seriously, I’d love to hear them.

Take care and happy holidays!
