Nancy Earrings

A pair of perfectly formed square studs that remain lightweight without compromising on impact. Extremely comfortable, they are ideal for everyday wear. The polished sides reflect light beautifully and complement the matte finish of the sides. Handmade in sterling silver, the Nancy earrings are also available in recycled 9ct gold.

These earrings are named after Nancy Ferry, who was a Donegal spinner, and part of Muriel Gahan's cooperative movement of the 1930's. 

Each stud earring measures 4mm in height x 4mm in width.

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.
