Ring Sizing Guide

  Posted by Clare Grennan in: Names Dublin, Ring collection, Ring sizing

Our collection of sterling silver and 9ct gold rings are now available to purchase online. Before you decide on your Terrain ring, you’ll need to choose which size you require. Your ring should be tight enough that it will not come off your finger inadvertently, but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. We want your ring to be perfect whether your purchase is a gift for someone special, or for yourself! We hope this guide helps make your decision easier: 

We have included the most popular ring sizes for women as options when purchasing one of our rings. These sizes along with measurements for the inside diameter are as follows: 

Size: K Inside ring diameter: 15.9mm 

Size: L Inside ring diameter: 16.3mm

Size: M Inside ring diameter: 16.7mm

Size: N Inside ring diameter: 17.12

We would advise taking a measurement of the inside diameter of a ring you already have and matching it to one of the above sizes. If your ring is smaller or larger, please get in touch and we can make a ring to your size. 

Customers are always welcome in our Drury Street location, where we offer a complimentary consultation service which includes taking a ring size. Feel free to bring along a ring you already have so we can take a size from that either. If this is not possible, consider purchasing an adjustable ring sizer here. Alternatively, any good jewellers will offer complimentary ring sizing. 

We use UK/IRL sizing, there are several size conversion tables available online for US customers for example (We have sourced a reputable one below). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

A Range of Cufflinks

A Range of Cufflinks

  Posted by Clare Grennan in: contemporary jewellery, cufflinks, geometric jewellery, handmade

Our very own jewellery line Names Dublin was launched last Autumn. Even after months of brainstorming and experimenting in the studio, we could not have predicted how popular it would prove to be. Over the months leading up to Christmas, we noticed how much our male customers seemed to really love the jewellery, the appeal being the bold geometric shapes, the matte and polished surfaces, the satisfying weight of the brass.

The idea of producing a range of cufflinks seemed like a natural progression for Names, and so in January we began prototyping. What has always bothered myself and Laura about cufflinks are the backs, how flimsy they tend to be, an afterthought to the design of the front. Our focus was to produce each cufflink as one complete shape, giving equal importance to the front and back, ensuring both complimented each other perfectly. Constructed in three parts, each cufflink has been formed by cold connection, as in there was no soldering involved. By using this process, the end result is much cleaner and a strong geometric design is achieved. 

The overall process, from initial drawings to finished pieces has been a challenge, but we are really pleased with the end result. The four designs in the range are named after our fathers and grandfathers, John, George, Martin and Mick. Each set of cufflinks is available in either rose or yellow 18carat gold plated brass and packaged in our custom made jewellery boxes.
