LA-based designer Rachael White established her fine jewelry line, Demitasse, in 2006. French for half-cup and an emblem of privilege, Demitasse reinvents the opulence of antique tableware and serving pieces into fine jewelry of gold, diamonds and sapphires.
“There was a time when the utensil one ate with or the utensil one served with was just as important as what they ate. In those times, people had the same reverence for silverware that we have today for jewelry—a working-class family would save for years to buy an actual silver spoon feed their children or collect. I wanted to bring back the type of intricate metalwork rarely seen anymore. What better way to do it than with a collection inspired by tableware itself?”
Rachael soon wanted to combine the passion today’s women have for jewelry with the same passion women once had for flatware and serving pieces by creating her own newly fabricated jewelry line, Demitasse. Demitasse creates a comfortable environment in which passions for food, flatware, and jewelry can come alive and be appreciated for their true beauty and pay homage to the past that strived on everything but fad diets and a spork.
Dada, one of the most influential art movements in modern history and the first to be considered a “cultural movement,” is the inspiration behind the Demistache collection. Designer Rachael White had created the Demistache in celebration of a movement she hopes to evoke in a time of crisis. Got Stache? Launched in 2008.
