About the Artist.
Creating jewelry that truly accents the individual.
Jayne Demarcay
Jayne DeMarcay is a jewelry artist residing in Abita Springs, LA. Her passion for jewelry design began at a young age. She had fond memories of spending time with her father when he worked as a jeweler in New Orleans. DeMarcay would devote countless hours to observing him at his work-bench, and after seeing the process first-hand, she decided there was nothing else she’d rather do.
After many years of working as a bench jeweler, DeMarcay developed a high degree of technical ability. Her designs are composed of precious metals, and are accented with intricate hand engraving and semi-precious stones. She incorporate bold shapes, clean lines, and contrasting textures within an abstract frame.
DeMarcay’s process begins with a sketch directly on the metal. She then use that sketch as a guide when hand-engraving. When the carving is complete, tiny holes are drilled, and using the very fine blade of a jeweler’s saw, the piece is carefully pierced. She then fabricates and solders the piece together and any additional embellishments or stones are attached. After these steps the piece is hand polished using a buffing wheel. Any finish, such as “satin”, textures are done last.
DeMarcay jewelry creates casual elegance with a timeless appeal. All DeMarcay pieces can be worn with ease, whether you are wearing blue jeans, business casual, or a cocktail dress.
