Graduate Designer: Katie Jamieson

For the last of my graduate instalments, a CSM designer who’s beautifully crafted and considered pieces have shades of Solange Azagury- Partridge in their kinetic and hidden stone details, but resolutely show off a graphic style of her own.

Katie Jamieson’s pieces feature stone set components nestled inside smooth sided, architectural shells, which ‘pop’ out with the wearer’s movement.

I love that Jamieson’s website describes both the tactility and sounds of the pieces – describing the “satisfying tinkle and click as if some secret is hidden within them”. I’ve mentioned before how important the physical experience of wearing jewellery is – playing with chains, twisting tactile rings around the finger, clinking stacks of bangles – an aspect of enjoying jewellery which Jamieson has considered and captured perfectly in her designs.
