The Collection
The Dwell collection takes inspiration from the unique connections we have to our dwellings. Based on the masonry around doors and windows of Georgian and Victorian buildings, this collection contemplates traditional craftsmanship and the passage of time. Through generations of lives lived, modernisation and dereliction, it is the external stonework that endures. Ageing beautifully but standing strong as it interacts with the natural world, it gives us a glimpse back in time connecting us to our shared past. The dwell collection translates these traditional facades into unique wearable contemporary pieces.
The Piece
This striking take on traditional Dublin masonry has a pleasing weight to its solid gold centrepiece, with a touch of sparkle from two pavé set classic white diamonds. The hand-forged oxidised chain reflects the ironmongery also typical of these buildings and gives it added depth and interest.
The Process
The Dwell collection calls for the traditional skills of both wax hand-carving and metal forming in its development and is handcrafted in solid 14K yellow gold by me in my Dublin workshop. Conflict-free diamonds are set by a master stone setter in Dublin. All pieces are hallmarked by the Assay Office in Irelands historic Dublin Castle.
Customisation
Collection pieces can be customised on request in alternative fine metals and precious gemstones. I work with 14K and 18K recycled yellow, rose and unplated white gold, and depending on the piece can source alternative gemstones.
