Emilie

She Aims Higher. She Does It Better. She Does Not Stop Until It Is as Good as She Knows It Can Be.

The Emilie Necklace honors the most genuinely admirable combination: ambition, excellence, and diligence — the ambition that reaches for something worth reaching for, the excellence that does the reaching with careful, genuine attention to quality, and the diligence that keeps reaching until the work is not just done but done as well as it can possibly be. Soft pink and shimmering silver beads come together around a wings charm and a heart charm at approximately 18 inches. Available in an approximately 18 in length.

Design & Materials

• Wings charm — for the ambition that rises; the most universal symbol of aspiration — the desire to go higher, reach further, and earn a vantage point that can only be reached by someone who has decided that where she is is not yet where she is meant to be
• Heart charm — for the love that is the source of all genuine ambition and excellence; a reminder that the most admirable ambition is always rooted in love of the work and the people it serves
• Pink beads — for the warmth of an ambition driven by love rather than ego; she reaches for excellence not to prove something but because she cannot bring herself to give anything less than her best
• Silver beads — for the precision and clarity of an excellence as sharp and real as the most luminous metal; the diligence of someone who understands that excellence is a choice made again and again in every detail
• Approximate length: ~18 in
• Handmade in the USA by Amelia Heir Art Designs

The Meaning Behind It

Emilie comes from the Latin aemulus — “striving to excel.” The most genuinely excellent people know what that striving requires: not loud, self-promotional ambition, but the quiet, purposeful kind that is completely focused on the work. A standard entirely her own, higher than anyone else’s expectations, held not because anyone is watching but because she is watching — and she knows the difference. Emilie is a necklace for those women, and for everyone who has ever benefited from their excellence and understood exactly how much ambition and diligence made it that good.

A perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, spring, or winter — for a woman whose ambition, excellence, and diligence make everything she does more beautiful and more worth the effort.
