Jamie produces all of Cassavoy & Company’s sterling and
18k jewelry out of her studio in Atlanta,
GA. Her line is comprised of
about 120 pieces that are all fabricated by hand.
Cassavoy’s influences are varied, ranging from nature to Art
Deco to African Tribal jewelry. To put it succinctly, clean lines, negative
space, and the use of textures with accents of color are the fundamental
aesthetic concerns at the root of her jewelry designs.
Ultimately, Jamie strives to produce beautiful jewelry that is a pleasure to
wear and easy to maintain so that it will look great for years to come. She
hopes that her gratefulness for being able to make art for a living is
conveyed with each and every piece that she makes.
