JAQUIE AICHE
Biography
Hand Crafted Fine Jewelry
In a world where fine jewelry is mass produced, a young designer, Jacquie Aiche is creating quite a stir in the industry with her stunning, hand-crafted designs. Utilizing the highest quality materials; 18 and 14 karat gold and sterling silver, she adeptly blends precious and semi-precious gemstones; diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pink tourmalines with organic materials; such as minerals, rocks and fossils to create her unique pieces.
“Jewelry is very personal, wearable art. It is intimate because it is close to a woman, caressing her skin. That is why my jewelry is organic and not mass produced. Each piece has an individual nature that must speak directly to the woman who wears it, capturing her unique mood and essence. Jacquie attributes the distinctive nature of her designs to her upbringing. Raised in a family with two diverse cultural influences (her father is Egyptian and her mother is an American Indian), she often blends elements of the two. “From my Father I think I have come to love reworking ancient designs such as goddesses and amulets and hammered gold, integrating these forms with contrasting natural minerals and gemstones, turquoise and fossils which are all reminiscent of the Native American jewelry of my mother’s heritage. Then of course, there is that funky, whimsical element that is all my own.”
She loves to travel the world in her constant search for new inspiration and unusual materials to incorporate into her work. Her personal perfection is reflected in the expert craftsmanship of each piece. Handcrafted in the United States or India, her jewelry is not only beautiful but also durable and comes with a warranty.
“Jewelry can be very powerful. When a woman wears a unique piece of jewelry, it can have a profound effect on the way she feels and the way people perceive her. I design jewelry to bring out aspects of a woman’s personality. Perhaps make her feel and appear more mysterious or more exotic or mischievous or more luminescent.”
