About the maker
Bonjour, I am Sophie, the jewellery designer-maker behind Essemgé. Essemgé stands for ‘SMG’, my initials in French. Conscious of today’s busy lifestyles and work environments, I design pieces that are versatile and practical yet eye-catching and inspiring. They 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.
