Raïssa Bump is the designer and maker of the impeccably crafted, versatile jewelry and knitwear which goes out into the world under the same name. The wearable art that she creates, just like her name is unusual and memorable. It subtly calls attention to itself, all by itself.
Raïssa comes from a large family where alone time was hard to come by—at age seven she was stealing away to make jewelry—as well as discovering ways to stand out and express herself–thus her love for interesting combinations of clothing and accessories was born.
Raïssa's skills have developed over time through education, teaching and exhibiting her work (learn more about her extensive credentials here). Her lexicon of artistic expression revolves around the body. At the root of human experience is the call to adorn, and this truth makes the body a powerful showcase for her art.
To Raïssa, both creating and teaching jewelry and knitwear achieves her goal of helping others to gain beauty, distinction and confidence in their self-expression. This is her fuel for life. When you wear her jewelry or knitwear you radiate an independent sense of style and strength that transitions beautifully from day to night.
