Jessica McCormack Debuts Antique Coin-Inspired Medallions for Summer
The 11-piece “Medallions” capsule collection features five motifs: a crying eye, a heart on fire, a spiral, a flower, and a swallow.
Jessica McCormack’s summer capsule collection, “Medallions,” consists of antique coin-inspired pendants crafted in the brand’s London workshop.
London—Jessica McCormack just introduced an 11-piece collection of medallions that pair with scaled-down versions of what’s expected to be a major jewelry trend this summer—big beaded necklaces.
The brand said the designs in the “Medallions” collection build on its notion of creating modern-day heirlooms by appearing “timeworn yet distinctly contemporary.”
Each pendant features one of five motifs: an eye, burning heart, spiral, flower, or swallow.
A single goldsmith handcrafted and finished each medallions in Jessica McCormack’s London workshop.
The medallions evoke the look of an antique coin through their slightly worn surfaces and hand-punched hallmarks in 18-karat yellow gold, while diamonds set in 18-karat blackened white gold and ultra-high polish button backs add a contemporary feel.

The pendants are “rich in meaning yet open to interpretation,” said Jessica McCormack, as they are shaped by both design and the wearer’s individual experience.
The capsule collection also includes necklaces in four styles.
Color is introduced through hand-carved lapis lazuli beads paired with 18-karat yellow gold cylinders in the “Long Guard” necklaces, pictured below.
