Jessica McCormack and the Haas Brothers deliver a playful irreverence to high quality jewelry, a philosophy they’ve stayed trustworthy to of their second collaboration (the primary was the Haas Brothers’ jewelry debut, in 2020).
‘This Too Shell Has’, a compact assortment of 5 items, nods to the aesthetic and heritage of all of the collaborators. The sensually formed designs reference the koru fern, a motif from McCormack’s native New Zealand, whereas the Haas Brothers’ outsized snail sculptures, Snails in Comparability, are a transparent inspiration.

For McCormack, the partnership continues to be a pure one. ‘For the reason that minute I began collaborating with Niki and Simon [Haas], it’s simply been simple – I believe that’s my favorite factor about creating with them,’ she says. ‘Their work is filled with these stunning shapes and sudden influences, and it’s all actually inspiring to me. I’ve a lot enjoyable entering into their world.’
The ensuing designs have fun imperfection, in asymmetrical types and offbeat silhouettes. Within the ‘Salty Snail’ pendant, a diamond leans into its pearl-speckled shell. Within the ‘Shrinking Snail’ ring, a whorl of irregularly sized diamonds casts a hypnotising spell, whereas diamonds are cradled in loops of gold within the ‘Studly Snails’ earrings.

‘The problem lies within the craftsmanship, and that’s why I’m at all times so happy with what our workshop can obtain,’ provides McCormack. ‘We wished the shapes to really feel gentle and playful, and biomorphic, but it surely takes actual ability, and lots of time to try this when working with diamonds and 18ct gold. And to make one thing that feels actually wearable too – it’s a set I’m actually happy with.’
‘Jessica designs critical diamond jewelry,’ says Niki Haas (McCormack’s jewelry consists of engagement rings). ‘However she’s so adept at creating items that outline our weirdly great aesthetic and her personal iconic fashion. We love what we create collectively.’
