JORIE GRASSIE: THE LAST DEER TUSK JEWELLER IN THE UK? build her brand and consumer base through PR and social media channels. Saying that word of mouth has been “very effective” for Jorie Jewellery, Grassie is appreciative of the company’s growth so far, stating: “I am really grateful that so many people have taken an interest in Deer Tusk Jewellery.” As many of the brand’s customers are attracted to its offerings due to its “classic look”, Grassie insists she will be sticking to deer tusk jewellery but she has not fully closed the door on other forms of jewellery making. Grassie hopes to see more jewellers follow in her footsteps and make deer tusk jewellery a more common commodity. With a slogan of offering “quality, creativity and beauty”, her love for this style of jewellery pushes her desire to see more designers give it the attention she feels it deserves in the future. 32 JEWELLERY FOCUS ‘‘ Each piece is then thoughtfully presented in a bespoke box and travel pouch which was designed by the jeweller in 2002 and made out of tweed exclusive to Grassie’s estate ‘‘ JORIE GRASSIE July 2017 | jewelleryfocus.co.uk
