"There’s something important about meeting a client in the studio — seeing their reactions, hearing their stories, and letting those details guide the work.
These visits shape the jewellery as much as my tools do. A piece always becomes stronger when it’s built from conversation as well as craft."

"I first began sketching this cuff with memories of 90s Ireland in my head — a time of change, chaos, underground music and graphic rebellion. I was drawn to the raw language of artillery and armour, but also to the unapologetic attitude of comic book heroines like Tank Girl — fierce, messy, unfiltered.

This piece carries that spirit.

I took those industrial, militant forms and softened them through gold — reshaping defiance into elegance. Strength into silhouette. Rebellion into something wearable and fiercely feminine.

Made by hand in my studio on the west coast of Ireland, this cuff is about holding your power lightly — but carrying it always.

Not a weapon.
A statement."

“A blackthorn tree outside my home turns breathtaking shades of copper and violet each autumn. As a goldsmith, I’m always trying to capture those colours before they disappear again. This ring is a study of that transformation — a reminder of how deeply the colours of the landscape influences my work, season after season.” Nigel O’Reilly

A 10.285cts. brilliant-purple amethyst, claw set in one 18KT rose ring. This golden ring is latticed on all sides, each section pavé set with four hundred and forty 0.8 -1.7mm brilliant-cut white, green and purple diamonds for a total accompanying gemstone carat weight of 1.256cts.

Crafted in my studio, in the west of Ireland, these Kintsugi earrings bring together titanium, lapis lazuli, and gold in a dialogue of fracture and restoration.
Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi — where breakage becomes part of the beauty — each earring holds a lapis sphere, encased in a lattice of gold, suspended within sculpted titanium.

A reminder that even the rarest materials can be transformed through patience, precision, and the courage to honour their history.

"When I’m entrusted with redesigning an heirloom, my role is not simply to reimagine a piece of jewellery — it’s to preserve a legacy in a new form. This ring began with an engagement diamond, the first chapter of a lifelong love story. Around it, I wove layers of meaning: four pear-shaped yellow diamonds for four daughters, green stones for heritage, blue for oceans crossed over a lifetime, pink for family, and red rubies for passion enduring through time. In total, over 300 diamonds and precious gemstones come together in a lattice of colour and light, transforming one story into a piece that will carry generations forward"
