Betty Stud Earrings

A pair of classic, semi-circular studs, handcrafted in a choice of either 3mm thick recycled silver or 9ct gold. By soldering the silver earring posts at contrasting points on each semi-circle, these simple earrings become more interesting. The sides of these earrings are polished and the flat surfaces are left matte. Each pair of earrings is hallmarked in historic Dublin Castle. 

Each semi-circle stud earring measures 10mm in height x 5mm in width x 3mm in depth (excluding earring post). These earrings are named after Laura's great aunt Betty.

Names Jewellery began as a side project for the founders of Irish Design Shop; Clare and Laura. It has grown to be an integral part of the business, branching into an independent studio space on neighboring Exchequer Street. Each piece of jewellery, crafted by hand, is named after a woman who inspires Clare and Laura, be they family members, disrupters, or fellow makers.  

Lineage is the core collection which shapes the foundation of the Names brand. Beautiful, uncluttered, and versatile jewellery inspired by the angular geometry found in the Irish landscape.

The names derive from the people who inspire us, whether they are family members, disruptors, or fellow makers and visual artists. We believe that jewellery goes beyond the physical form - it is a sentiment of value we give to one another and hand down through generations.

Each piece of jewellery is crafted by hand in our neighbouring workshop. We carefully source our raw materials from respected suppliers here in Dublin and use all recycled silver and gold. All waste material generated in the making process goes back to our supplier as scrap metal. Gold plating is carried out in the neighbouring county Kildare, keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum.
