Designer Spotlight: Jessica McCormack
"New York Night" 3.11 carat diamond ring, depicting the NY skyline Jessica McCormack doesn't take jewelry design lightly--she wants to designs pieces you will covet forever, and pass down through the years. Sounds like a substantially serious objective for a jewelry designer, but when you see her work you will notice that this goal is easily reached. Of course with a background like hers, you begin to understand how her talent emerged as well. She spent much of her early life surrounded by antiques at her father's auction house. In her twenties she traveled around Asia and Europe, expanding her tastes. Each piece she designs has an enormous amount of thought and meaning behind it--a great example is her popular Wing of Desire, said to have been worn on the hat and sandals of Greek mythological being Hermes. Her work reinforces what I believe--that those who are self-taught, when it comes to jewelry design, are those who are least conventional and boring. Her jewelry sure pushes the line.

Hot on our Radar: Laine Jewelry
I have become enamored by this brooch--the faceted jet, the rose gold, the rough cognac and champagne diamonds--so beautiful. Laine is new to the jewelry scene, however her remarkable talent leads anyone to believe she is a 30 year veteran. Her Lillie brooch, made of 15k rose gold, dates back to 1890. The vintage piece has been reinvented through her artistic perspective, and this is the end result. And the price? Only $300. Just picture some skinny jeans, black solid tank, and a sea green scarf wrapped and secured with this brooch--niiice! Read More
