Our Process
Craftsmanship
Our raw emerald craftspeople, goldsmiths, gemologists, leather experts, and pattern partners are women-led workshops and husband and wife teams that have learned their trade at luxury houses around the world or have honed techniques passed down from previous generations. We produce in New York City and Colombia.
Sourcing
Stimulating the senses is part of the AMERICAE experience, and the materials we use are where that process begins. We exclusively use raw emeralds, leathers, soft cottons, and gorgeous wools, sourced from Colombia or Italy, just to name a few. For us, it’s important to create things that make you feel incredible and emboldened, all the time. After all, AMERICAE is a noun in Latin for the Americas and it hints to part of our experiential purpose.

Design
Modern elegance and an unapologetic attitude, that’s what guides us. Vibrant colors, the provenance of languages, travel and history, architecture, the magic of the unexpected, and South America also sings to our souls. We design with these inspirations in mind from Philadelphia.
