Early Life and Background

McCormack was born in New Zealand. Her father was an antiques dealer, and she grew up surrounded by art and historical objects, which influenced her design approach. After moving to London, she interned and later worked in the jewellery department at Sotheby's. This experience exposed her to significant historical jewellery pieces, including vintage Cartier and Russian crown jewels, inspiring her to create designs that combined historical craftsmanship with modern relevance.

Career

Jessica McCormack launched her eponymous jewellery brand in 2008. She initially designed from a studio in Clerkenwell, London, working with a small team of craftspeople. The brand's flagship store and workshop are located in a renovated five-story Georgian townhouse at 7 Carlos Place in Mayfair, London, which opened in 2008. The townhouse also serves as a gallery space.

Her brand emphasizes bespoke creations and handcrafted pieces, with an in-house workshop at the Mayfair townhouse. In 2025, McCormack announced plans for US expansion with the opening of a store in New York.
