San Francisco-based fine jewelry brand Cast is excited to announce an emboldened new collection in collaboration with artist Windy Chien, Knot Life. Grace meets strength in a woven collection that celebrates the art of the knot, and one woman's ability to bend metal to her will.

Windy became fluent in knots in 2016. She embraced the challenge to learn how to make a new knot every day for a year and documented her journey along the way. The Year of Knots went viral and ever since, the San Francisco artist has been celebrated and sought after for her mesmerizing, hand-tied knot sculptures and large-scale installations. Now for the first time, the queen of knots swaps her rope for silver and gold—weaving together a chic, effortless fine jewelry collection reflecting her artistry.

With the introduction of the Knot Life collection, Cast Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Rachel Skelly partnered with an artist outside of fine jewelry for the first time to bring Windy's macro works into the micro world of jewelry with pieces created using timeless fine materials. The collection launch supports Cast's mission to invite everyone to experience the joy of fine jewelry. 

Rachel Skelly explains, "I have followed Windy's knot journey since the beginning and have always been so inspired and enamored with her work and eye. I knew that translating her artistic perspective into the medium of fine jewelry would create something magical."

"I make art depicting knots at a massive scale in order to elevate the practice to the level of fine art," says Chien. "Cast's Knot Life has a similar goal—to elevate the humble knot to an object of awe and beauty, this time by using precious stones and metals."

Knot Life comes together in satin silver and 14 karat gold, woven over high polished rings of rich metal and charcoal jade, a tribute to Chien's love of knotting and her Chinese culture. There's a creative energy radiating off every silhouette.

Knot Life ranges in price from $500 to $3,900 and is currently available for purchase on www.castjewelry.com and in store at the Cast boutique in Marin, CA.
