There is no doubting the fact that Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger has not lived your average, run of the mill life.

Born in Paris, the daughter of rock star Sir Mick and his then wife Bianca, her babysitter was Andy Warhol, who taught her colouring. She was expelled from her exclusive boarding school and did a bit of modelling before going to Florence to study painting. She has three children, the youngest of whom, Ray, is the same age as her first grandchild.

Despite the fame, Jade is surprisingly down to earth when you meet her. And very funny.

She is exactly the sort of chum you would be happy to have along on a girls’ night out. She’s just arrived at The Abbey restaurant in Ballasalla, straight off a flight from London, and she’s sitting with a large glass of cider in front of her as she orders a hearty lunch: ’I haven’t eaten today but please don’t say what I’m ordering - say I just had a mineral water!’ she jokes.

She’s on the island with items from her latest jewellery collection which is made up of stunning, one-off pieces that sell for between £500 to £5,000.

Tonight (Tuesday) she will be back at The Abbey for a sellout dinner in aid of the Red Cross with guests given the opportunity to view the jewellery and maybe buy themselves an early Christmas present. Jade has definitely put her colourful past behind her and got very serious about her career as a jewellery designer which came about almost by accident.

She says: ’I love jewellery and when I was painting I used to use a lot of gold leaf and I used to make my own pigments.

’It was my love of colour that got me into working with stones. They seemed like the root of colour to me - where it all begins, the natural beauty of colour.

’I had a very crafty, very sculptural, hand-made part to my artwork and the people that sold me gold leaf suggested that I might try working with some gold wire and that’s strangely how I got into it.’

There is nothing shy or apologetic about Jade’s jewellery: these are statement pieces, using emeralds, sapphires and diamonds, some of which, I suggest, are really not for everyday wear.

Jade says: ’My daughters used to be kind of cute and want to dress me up and be a bit more princessy.

’I was always kind of a country girl and it is difficult to work and do these things with jewellery on but actually, as I’ve grown to work with it, I’ve worn it a lot more.’

She picks up a necklace which features emerald ’tumbles’ (uncut, opaque pieces of the stone) and continues: ’I’ve worn this beautiful necklace here and I’ve done certain things but the bigger rings obviously can be cumbersome. I think that jewellery should feel comfortable and cosy and feel a part of you.

’And I like making invidual things because I think all of us are individual.

’There’s something about jewellery that does have a talismanic quality: each person gets a relationship with a piece of jewellery and it’s often bought or given in a moment that has some special occasion or something that represents a time and, even if it doesn’t, jewellery sort of creates that for itself.

’That’s one of the things that I love about it and especially because perhaps it’s going to become an heirloom and become part of the family.’

Jade goes on to say that she enjoys events like the one planned for tonight: ’I do like to be quite intimate with my clients.

’I think that jewellery is always behind glass and behind closed doors and that people have a fear of it and they don’t get to touch it and interact with it. So it is really nice to have this kind of old-fashioned, kind of Tupperware, type of party - it can be quite tiring but it lets the pieces come to life and I do like it.’

I ask her what her favourite stone is and she says: ’I do like emeralds and I probably should be saying that I love jade but I do like them all.

’I try not to have favourites: like with the children one must love equally and all shall be equal!’

We tend of think of Jade Jagger as the poster girl for Ibiza but in fact she tells me that she hasn’t lived there for some time. She now has a house on Formentera and, as this is her first visit to another small island, she asks me all about the Isle of Man.

When I mention how safe it is here for kids she tells me that it’s also like this on Formentera where ’everybody knows everybody else’ and you realise that statement must be even truer there than it is on the island as she adds that Formentera has a population of just 10,000.

Jade has three children: Amba and Assisi, from her marriage to Piers Jackson, were both born when Jade was in her early twenties. Her youngest child, Ray, from her marriage to DJ Adrian Filary, was born in 2014, within a month of her daughter, Assisi, giving birth to Jade’s granddaughter, Ezra.

Jade tells me that it was ’lovely to share the pregnancy’ and to commiserate about the sleepless nights with her daughter.

Ray is already a well-travelled child as Jade spends several months of the year in Jaipur, in India. It is here that she purchases the stones and where she finds the craftsmen she needs to create her individual pieces.

When she talks about retail ’having a tough time’ I suggest that the sort of clients who purchase her jewellery might be immune to ’tough times’.

She disagrees, saying: ’We all have a tough time, however that’s experienced.

’It seems, as a world, that we’re in a time of change which I think is exciting.

’It seems revolutionary and we need to learn some lessons: you know, on the environment and women’s rights we need to step up and realise that some of the ways that we’ve been living and working are not good for the future or good for our children.’
