Kathleen Necklace

Our Kathleen necklace is handcrafted in solid brass. The filed angle on the face ensures it hangs centered on the wearer, while also adding interest to an otherwise simple shape. This angle is further emphasized by its polished finish. Hanging on a strong and durable 1.5mm ball chain, this brass necklace is finished in hard-wearing 18ct gold plating.

This necklace is named Kathleen after Laura's Grandmother. 

The chain measures 32" long and the pendant measures 20mm in diameter and is 10mm in depth. 

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.
