As the daughter of renowned furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and needlework diva Erica Wilson design runs in Jessica’s veins. What began at an early age with stringing shells into necklaces on the beach blossomed into a full-blown obsession by the time Jessica was in her mid-20s. Jessica graduated from Smith College with a BA in Art History. She has studied jewellery making at the Jewellery Arts Institute in New York and the Silvermine Guild in Connecticut.
Jessica continues to produce the hand engraved fossilized ivory bracelets which she sells at Bergdorf Goodman along with a line of fine jewellery. Consisting of playful combinations of precious and semi-precious stones, pearls, and offbeat cameos depicting skulls, hands, and more, the mainly one-of-a-kind line is a perfect outlet for Jessica’s unorthodox sense of fashion.
