The Ethos
Heritage Handmade
Aileach Moon jewellery is made by hand using traditional skills and techniques. In a world swimming in mass-production, handmade fine jewellery offers a refreshing glimpse into a world where, with the hands and heart of the maker, creativity and craftsmanship combine to manifest a quiet imprint, small in scale but mighty in meaning.
Heritage making births more than product. It grows community, those who encourage, educate, supply, support and connect. It provides a window to the past and poses questions for the future. In keeping heritage skills alive, we honour past and present makers and hold space for future generations to experience the joy of heritage making and heritage made in all its forms.
Aileach Moon supports heritage crafts and is happy to signpost those contemplating joining the industry to the community. Schools and youth organisations are welcome to make contact on behalf of those aged under 18 years.
For You
Diversity enriches the tapestry of our lives. Aileach Moon jewellery celebrates your unique presence, your sacred sense of self, your beauty, within and without and the utter brilliance you see in those you love. Your jewellery journey is a personal one and it is always special to be a part of it, the moments, the making and the memories.
Nora McQuaid is the designer/maker behind Aileach Moon. Being an independent designer/maker allows her the freedom to ensure that her values are reflected in all aspects of her work.
Aileach Moon jewellery is made using 100% recycled precious metals, chosen for their beauty and longevity. That precious metals can be reused, remodelled, recycled and re-worn for generations is part of their lure and sits happily alongside Aileach Moon's responsible approach to making.
For Aileach Moon, a responsible approach to making requires more than choosing materials and using methods which tread lightly on the planet and safeguard people. It is an ongoing process of evaluation and improvement. It includes making conscious choices about all aspects of the business, careful sourcing of materials, thoughtful workshop practices, and using trusted suppliers whose values align with Aileach Moon. It involves working with honesty, integrity and transparency. It involves advocacy, asking hard questions and having open conversations with you as a client, so that you can be assured that your values are reflected in your Aileach Moon jewellery.
As part of Aileach Moon's support for conscious consumerism, when you purchase a Made To Order item you will be offered a complementary annual TLC clean and polish for your purchased piece. This is in honour of the beauty and longevity of precious metals and will ensure your jewellery always looks its best so that you can hand it down, a little legacy.
