My Story
Forever & Always
Nearly four years ago, I turned my lifelong dream into reality by founding JUNI, my very own jewellery business.
JUNI's Love Story began in 2020 when I (Emily), wanted to create fine jewellery that was not only sustainable but would last a lifetime.
Every design you see on JUNI's website is designed and made by myself. My idea was that each piece should be uniquely created for each individual. Each design is therefore made to order making every order as individual as the wearer.
Why "JUNI"?
Being born in Norway (June 1994), I wanted to give a subtle nod to my beginnings and incorporate a piece of my heritage into my brand. Derived from the word June in Norwegian, “JUNI” was chosen and holds a special place in my heart.
Little did I realise how important this month would become in my life. June was the month I brought our little pup home, the month John asked me to be his girlfriend, and years later, the month he asked me to marry him. This year, it was the month we got married. I do believe that things happen for a reason and these are no coincidences.
My Values
At JUNI, each piece is designed with love and meticulous attention to detail, drawing inspiration from nature, art, and the beauty of everyday life. My goal has always been to create jewellery that not only enhances your style but tells a story and resonates with your personal journey.
Over the years, my collections have grown and evolved alongside my passion and skills. I started with small, simple designs using basic materials, and now I have the capability to create bespoke, one of a kind engagement rings.
Sustainability and affordability are at the heart of JUNI's creations. This is why I can pride myself on the fact that each design is thoroughly researched to make sure the most ethical route is taken when creating each piece.
​
The Whole Collection includes designs which only use Forever One Charles & Colvard Moissanites & Chatham Lab Grown Gemstones. A conscious decision made by myself to make my business as sustainable as possible.

Owning Your Own Business
However, running my own small business has its challenges. There are ups and downs, long days, and sleepless nights, but it’s worth every moment. The joy of seeing my designs come to life and the happiness they bring to my customers make it all worthwhile.
When I’m not working in my home studio nestled in the picturesque Lake District, I love spending time outdoors. Whether I’m running, walking, or biking through the stunning landscapes, I find endless inspiration in nature. And on those cold days, there’s nothing better than curling up in a woolly jumper with a cuppa tea and my design book.
Forever & Always
Forever & Always" is the pillar of JUNI's Engagement Collection and is a subtle dedication to my husband. A Love Story that has been one of the main reasons JUNI has been able to grow into what it is today.
​
The designs you see are created with the reminder that love will forever be a guide and will always protect you along life's journey.
​
​Sharing my designs and passion with you all is something I’ll always cherish. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.

Love,
