Diamond Crafted Illusions

Christchurch jeweller Jessica McCormack is recommended in July’s Harpers Bazaar magazine, which describes the London-based designer’s diamond creations as “strong and meticulous.” “Driven by a desire to make precious objects accessible and wearable with anything from your jeans to your little black dress, McCormack is a real gem – creating jewel encrusted pieces which substitute the real world for her own fantasy landscape.” McCormack features in the second edition of ‘London Rocks’, a selling exhibition featuring 18 talents at Sotheby’s Bond Street location in September. And in UK trade magazine J-Dex, director of fine jewellery retailer Diamondcelebrations.com Saul Singer is quoted: “We love Jessica McCormack’s strikingly creative approach to celebration jewellery. Her jewellery includes delicate earrings crafted from antique pen nibs. Heaven only knows what she has in mind for engagement rings.”
