NEW YORK - Born in Rome and steeped in an arts-rich background of music, dance, painting and sculpture, Manhattan-based Emanuela Duca has married her passion for movement and sculpture in her collection of modern, earthy jewelry. Her hand-fabricated bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces are highly textured, exaggerated and evocative of volcanic ash and the ancient ruins of her native Rome. The overall look is stark, simple and minimal, yet with a dramatic, fashion-forward impact. Emanuela Duca was recently selected as the recipient of the CFDA (The Council of Fashion Designers of America) Incubator program - designed to support the next generation of fashion designers in New York City.
