Jessica McCormack designs exceptional diamond Jewellery for the modern woman, creating heirlooms for future generations. Her unique, heirloom-inspired designs and values of hand craftsmanship have given her a global reputation for effortlessly melding the traditional and the contemporary to create a beautifully distinct aesthetic.
“One of the reasons I started designing jewellery was to reinvigorate some of the antique jewellery making techniques I had discovered during my time at the jewellery department at Sotheby’s. I wanted to recreate them, but in designs that made them relevant and wearable for women today. The whole idea of creating contemporary yet timeless pieces, designed to be passed down generations, is at the very core of what I do.”

Jessica grew up in New Zealand surrounded by art, antiquities and curious objects collected by her father, an auctioneer. She began her career in jewellery and champions centuries-old craftsmanship, made modern in designs inspired by anything from antique Maori carvings to Japanese fairy tales. With a knack for blending modernity and timelessness, her mission is to create jewellery that generations of women will wear and adore.
Jessica launched her eponymous jewellery brand in 2008, quickly establishing herself as one of Britain’s most exciting jewellers. Eschewing trends for her own unique aesthetic and values of craftsmanship, she has become known for effortlessly melding the traditional and the contemporary.
"My ultimate goal is to make sure all my jewellery is wearable and hugely loved. I love the idea of being able to wear a piece of jewellery on the school run, in a board meeting, or out to dinner and dancing on the tables. I truly believe that diamonds capture a moment in time; in hundreds of years the stories they tell will outlive us all. Jewellery is for life and eventually for our great-granddaughters – but we must enjoy it first!"
