About us

Hi!

I’m Emily Koerner, maker and founder of Thorn & Thread. Welcome, and thank you for stopping by!

My small business journey began in 2020 with custom tufted rugs, focusing on anime and Pokémon commissions. As a full-time woman in STEM, I wanted a creative outlet and a way to explore the crafts I was passionate about.

Over time, I found so much excitement in creating chainmaille jewelry that I wanted to share it with my friends, community, and fellow lovers of alternative style. My pieces are inspired by darker aesthetics, unconventional accessories, and the idea that jewelry can feel both bold and wearable. Alongside my jewelry, I also create tufted rugs designed to function as statement art pieces for your space—my favorite use for them is as wall hangings. I strive to create unique designs that can elevate any occasion while still feeling true to your personal style.
