Nora earrings

A pair of uncomplicated studs in solid sterling silver. Measuring 4mm in diameter, interest is added to the basic circular shape by filing a split level into the surface, which is emphasized by the contrasting matte and polished finishes. Extremely wearable, these studs compliment both a casual and formal look. Handmade in sterling silver, the Nora earrings are also available in recycled 9ct gold. 

These earrings are named after Nora Ringwood, who was a Dublin waitress, and part of Muriel Gahan's cooperative movement in the 1930's. 

Each stud measures 4mm in diameter x 4mm 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.

Each pair of earrings made in silver and gold is hallmarked in the Dublin Assay office, located a short stroll from our workshop in historic Dublin Castle. The stamps include our unique makers mark of CGD followed by the unique Dublin marks.

Below, you will find our suggestions for jewellery pieces that best compliment these earrings.

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. Each batch of finished jewellery is hand delivered to our Drury Street shop.
