Nellie Necklace - Archived

Our Nellie necklace, handcrafted in a choice of either gold-plated solid brass or sterling silver, hangs on a sleek, 18" snake chain which is finished with a handmade clasp. The interesting, geometric shape with polished angles sits centered on the wearer. 

This necklace is named Nellie after Laura's Great Aunt. 

The chain is 18" long and the pendant measures 7mm in height x 19mm in width x 9mm 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.
