Rise Jewelry is a Manhattan grown & nurtured, now Oakland based private label jewelry company committed to production in America. Rise provides top-tier components customers demand: gemstones from india, pearls harvested in japan, cording crafted in france. in addition, hand-dyed linen pouches, cellophane wrapping, card/paper stock, and shipping materials are not just sourced in america, they are made in america. Every unit is created & treated as a treasure. All output is produced with goodness & good-will standards. Rise is dedicated to eco-friendly measures like post-consumer waste products, non-toxic dyes, and using 80% recycled metal components. Design focus lends itself towards the delicate and layered; for all day and everyday wear. The principle structure is a rosary wire wrap. Three twists of wire along with two hand-formed loops affix a center stone. This time-honored & meditative technique allows for the stones to be the focal point and the resulting chain formation is incredibly strong. Be it through stone properties or a cause behind its creation, each style tells a story and carries a little spirited whimsy.
The soul of Rise is a 4 year old Jessica Clare cutting jewelry out of a JCPenney catalog in suburban Cleveland. With tape and scissors, a first collection was born. Twenty years later, the private label jewelry industry in New York found her creating collections for such prestigious clients as Barney’s co-op, Jcrew, Takashimaya, Blue Fly, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Free People, Red Envelope, Harvey Nichols, Henri Bendel, Longchamp, Rugby Ralph Lauren, Gap-red and Kate Spade. Additionally, Jessica's work was presented and fronted in publications- WWD*cover*, Elle*cover*, Vogue, In Style, Self, O Magazine, Vibe, Lucky, Organic Style, Latina, Time Out New York, Marie Claire and. Essence. In 2010, the magic of parrots in northern Goa at dusk and a beloved memory surrounding graph paper gave life to an internal rise and the seeds of Rise Jewelry. Jessica’s work embodies a modern handmade aesthetic, a vibrant celebration of antiquity and a deep reverence for all things esoteric.
