Based in Hudson Valley, NY and in Rome, Italy, Emanuela Duca creates contemporary fine jewelry that has highly textured surfaces in silver and in gold with accents of small diamonds. Duca’s designs are evocative of volcanic ash and the ancient ruins of her native Rome, while the clean, simple shape and combination reflects her New York sensibility.
Established in New York City in 2005, Emanuela Duca’s jewelry has exhibited in numerous retail and wholesale shows throughout the US, including the Smithsonian, the Philadelphia Museum of Arts Craft Shows, Couture International Jewelry Show (Las Vegas), and LOOT: MAD About Jewelry at the Museum of Art and Design in New York. She was also the recipient of the 2009 American Craft Council Award of Excellence. Emanuela Duca was selected for the prestigious CFDA (The Council of Fashion Designers of America) “Incubator” program. The CFDA’s “Incubator” program was launched with Mayor Bloomberg on October 19, 2009, in partnership with New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and Newmark Holdings, and it is designed to support the next generation of fashion designers in New York City.
