Biography
Bonjour,
I am Sophie, the designer behind Essemgé (which stands for ‘SMG’, my initials with a French twist, in reference to my origins).
Conscious of today’s busy lifestyles and work environments, I have designed pieces that are versatile and practical yet eye-catching and inspiring, to give you choices of how to wear them.
I draw inspiration from my experiences and surroundings.
In my earlier corporate career, I realised that every successful woman has a signature style that’s unique to her. Jewellery is an essential part of it. It makes her feel polished, confident and empowered, ready to take on the challenges of a fast-paced workplace.
My aim is to serve you with quality jewellery that is quietly sophisticated and timeless. Perfect for those who favour style and soul over fashion, and buy their own pieces. I absolutely love what I do – knowing that a piece of jewellery that I have designed is giving you the confidence boost and glow you need to help you realise your potential.
The surroundings of South East London where I have my studio, have also influenced my designs. The mix of urban, industrial and maritime heritage has created a visually striking landscape, where order meets chaos, old meets new, shiny meets rusty, established meets upcoming. It certainly is the ideal backdrop to feed my imagination!
My other passions include drawing, watercolour painting, antiques/vintage hunting/collecting, restoring/diy as well as many more! Interestingly I have found that all of these activities have contributed to inform my jewellery designs and aesthetics.
