Some things are worth slowing down for.
“I spent years looking for something that mattered to me. I tried different careers in different countries and never quite put my heart into any of them — until I picked up a hammer and made my first ring. From that moment I was hooked. I knew instantly it was the thing I’d been searching for. I’m happiest at my workbench, making.”
INNER ISLAND is handmade gold and silver jewellery, made in Ireland. Modern pieces designed to be worn often and kept for years. Quiet by nature, built to last.
The name We each carry an inner island: a core sense of self, somewhere beneath the noise, that's worth protecting and returning to. That's the feeling I want the jewellery to hold — pieces that feel like yours, that ground you a little, that you reach for without thinking.
I founded INNER ISLAND in 2015, after training through courses and internships in Canada, Scotland and Dublin. Today every piece is made by hand in my South Kilkenny studio — in small batches, or made to order for you.
How I design I'm drawn to the world around me — a stone on a beach, a child's game, the shape of an old window. Ordinary things that quietly become whole collections. I start with a simple shape and let one unexpected detail in: something to surprise you, something you keep noticing. Each collection carries its own story.
What I believe Good jewellery shouldn't cost the earth — not your money, and not the planet's. I work with recycled gold and silver, heavily plated for lasting wear, on metals kind to sensitive skin. Packaging is recycled or biodegradable. The craft is the old one — metalwork by hand — meeting the tools of now.
Made slowly. Worn often. Kept for years.
Marking a moment, or reworking something you already love? I'd love to hear from you. Every commission begins with a conversation.
