Naneen Pendant

The smallest of our pendants, Naneen takes the form of a solid half-circle form.  Hanging on an 18" anchor chain, a custom-made clasp with the stamped Names logo completes the necklace. Available in a choice of solid silver, gold plated silver or solid 9ct gold.

This necklace is named after Naneen Mhicilín, who was an Aran Island crios (belt) maker and part of Muriel Gahan's cooperative movement of the 1930's. 

The Naneen pendant measures 15mm in width x 7mm in height x 5mm 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.
