A Garden of Delight

Who: Jamie Cassavoy de Gonzalez of Cassavoy & Company
What: Handcrafted Jewelry
Where: Decatur, GA
Web: http://www.jamiecassavoy.com/
Why: Cheerful flowers, leaves and birds accented by a spectrum of gems make up Jamie's smart, trend-savvy jewelry. Jamie is a well-accomplished businesswoman and metalsmith, exhibiting and selling her work through her website as well as through catalogs, boutiques, galleries and museums around the world. She stays well-grounded though...her design sense is spot on, and her attention to little details like safety chains on neckpieces is noteworthy. I love the combination of deeply oxidized sterling with 18K gold and the perfect amount of color that she uses in many of her pieces, and I like the range of her work too...easy to picture it dressed up or down on teenagers and grandmas alike. Oh yeah, and me too. ;)
