Emin Gadzhiyev

Hey there! My name is Emin- I am a first-generation American and second-generation metalsmith. Born in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, I now reside in Asheville, North Carolina.

I have been collectively 3D Sculpting, 3D Printing, Casting, and Finishing Jewelry for over 10 years. Recently trained and certified to set stones through New Approach School for Jewelers- I am eager to incorporate gemstones into my future designs.

I grew up with my father working remotely as a dental technician. Constantly being surrounded by the same processes as the jewelry industry- all of the tools became second nature to me. Hailing from Azerbaijan- my father was a goldsmith and chainsmith for decades. Upon moving to America, he sought work as a dental technician- due to the profession similarities and lack of job availability- as a goldsmith.

I've now relit the torch to carry on my blood's craft into this New Age. With the new opportunities and technologies of this modern world- I aim to create wearable art- the likes of which this World has yet to experience.
