Designer

We are Cast, makers of artfully designed fine jewelry. We are reimagining the experience of shopping and collecting fine jewelry, with a warm, inviting, and explorative journey that’s as inspiring and empowering as the jewelry itself. With a sense of discovery at our core, we are constantly creating. In collaboration with an ever-evolving, female-focused collective of the world’s most inventive jewelry designers, we create collections unlike any other. Our uniquely timeless aesthetic celebrates sculptural, geometric forms and always has a story to tell.  With the magic of storytelling and wonderment, we celebrate our designers and bring our collections to life.

Cast was founded in San Francisco by two friends that wanted to make the experience of discovering and shopping fine jewelry as delightful as wearing it. Founder Rachel Skelly is a seasoned entrepreneur who loves to enter established categories and shake things up. Vitamins and baby food were modernized and transformed with the introduction of Olly and Plum Organics. Rachel is now applying her brand making magic and deep passion for product creation and artistry, to the jewelry category. In support of her vision, Cast is backed by our founding investor Eric Ryan, a successful three-time founder (Method, Olly and Welly) who now focuses on advising, coaching and investing in the next wave of brand creators and industry disruptors. Also backing the Cast vision is True Ventures, a leader in the consumer venture space with an investment portfolio that includes Peloton, Madison Reed, Hodinkee, and Blue Bottle.

This is a foundational opportunity to join a small but mighty team of creative, dedicated pros and build something sparkly, coveted, and successful.
