FEAST OF BURDEN

By David Yip

Children of celebrities often end up living out their lives in the long shadows of their famous parents. Not so Jade Jagger, the free-thinking daughter of Mick and Bianca. Barely out of her teens, she was exhibiting successfully as a painter, and at just 29 she assumed creative directorship of Asprey & Garrard, one of the world’s oldest and most revered luxury brands.

Today as the creative force behind Jade Inc., Jade Jagger enjoys a feted reputation as an artist, creative director and visionary jewellery designer.

Born in Paris in 1971, Jade’s childhood was spent in the heyday of Pop Art in New York, in the milieu of Andy Warhol’s ‘The Factory’, which nurtured her talent for painting. “I taught her how to colour and she showed me how to play monopoly. She was four and I was forty-four,” Warhol famously quipped.

Following an early career in painting with numerous exhibitions to her name, she gravitated to jewellery design, applying her colourful, bohemian aesthetic to one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces. her work first sold exclusively through Paul Smith stores worldwide, but following wide acclaim became available through an impressive international list of stockists including Maxfields, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Collette, The Cross and a La Mode.

In 2000, Asprey & Garrard appointed Jade its fine jeweller and creative director. She created the signature Wing design and other timeless collections that brought the house into the 21st century. In one collection after another, Jade’s maverick sensibility, combining refine luxry with grounded values, kept her in the global artistic spotlight. Two high-profile accomplishments were the Jagger Dagger of 2008, a precious ice pick made from white gold and lapis for Belvedere Vodka, and the prestigious 2010 commission to redesign the bottle of Guerlain’s most famous perfume, Shalimar.

The first Jade Jagger store was opened in 2009 in London, and the second in Goa, India, in 2015. Jade Jagger is currently working on a new collection of fine jewellery, and divides her energies between London and India, where she draws inspiration from traditional Indian materials, reworking them in her inimitable manner for the contemporary jewel-wearer. jadejagger.co.uk
