Jessica McCormack Sends Gold, Gemstones Into ‘Orbit’
McCormack looked to the 19th century’s “golden age” of astronomy when designing her new celestial-themed collection.

London—Jessica McCormack has launched her “Orbit” collection, which reimagines her signature “Ball n Chain” designs through a celestial lens.
The collection centers on the idea of cosmic balance and the harmony of spheres with pieces that complement one’s energy, the brand said.
“Orbit is about gravity. The pieces are designed to sit within the wearer’s orbit, drawn naturally to them, rather than demanding attention,” McCormack said.
The New Zealand-born, London-based jewelry designer is known for incorporating antique craftsmanship in her designs.
For this collection, she has chosen the 19th century’s “golden age” of astronomy as her muse.
In the 19th century, celestial exploration captured both scientific and romantic imaginations through discovery, beauty, and mysticism, said the brand.
Wearing star-patterned dresses or moon-shaped brooches signaled one’s fascination with the cosmos or subtly reflected the nuances of one’s romantic life.
McCormack drew from these ideas to create jewels that echo planets through voluminous 18-karat yellow gold spheres and colored gemstone beads like lilac jade and star sapphire.

Orbit includes rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants.
Each piece is meant to seamlessly pair with existing Jessica McCormack designs in layered looks to form a “constellation tailored to the wearer,” the brand said.
The collection also features classic McCormack elements like blackened gold and Georgian cut-down settings.
A standout piece in the Orbit collection is the “Planetary” necklace (seen at top of article) that mimics the configuration of our solar system, with the wearer meant to represent the sun.
It showcases eight gemstones, each representing a planet—a 7.92 carat Colombian emerald, a golden South Sea pearl, a 16.21-carat Burmese lilac jade, a 3.70-carat round brilliant-cut diamond, an 18.96-carat melo pearl, a 13.26-carat star sapphire, an angel skin pink coral, and a white pearl.
The 36-piece collection retails from $4,200 and includes several one-of-a-kind pieces, like a $425,000 brooch set with a 7-carat cushion-cut diamond.
The “Orbit” brooch reimagines a Victorian compass rose as a piece of jewelry with a 7.01-carat cushion-cut diamond outlined in blackened gold with 18-karat yellow gold spires and sunbeams ($425,000)
One of the three arm bands in the collection features a 1.21-carat pear-shaped diamond set in blackened gold ($45,000).
The brooch is reminiscent of a Victorian compass rose with 18-karat yellow gold spires and sunbeams.
The collection also includes a selection of diamond arm bands, a style Marion Fasel, founder of The Adventurine, highlighted as trending this year in episode two of the “My Next Question” podcast.
Orbit debuted today and is available on the Jessica McCormack website.
