Emily Armenta is an historian, a romantic, and a skilled jeweler. Her biggest inspiration comes from the Spanish poet, Lorca and early Spanish and Moorish architecture. In her handcrafted metal work, Armenta uses the old-world Etruscan method of granulation, which is distinctive to her designs. In the Spanish culture, the belief of the Duende is strong. In the simplest terms, the spiritual realm of the Duende is a creative process in which one must survive a struggle or darkness to achieve greatness. Armenta jewelry pays homage to Duende, combining symbolism, fresh feminine styles and old world techniques. Armenta is exclusive in St. Louis to Elleard Heffern Fine Jewelers.
