About
Contemporary jewellery consciously crafted by hand
At Aileach Moon I design and make individual items of jewellery using traditional skills and techniques. Making something beautiful from sheet or melted metal is my passion. It is a slow process which allows for a lot of love, care and attention to the details of each piece.
Inspirations
My workshop is based in Derry, Ireland.
If you have been to this part of the world, you'll know there is no want of inspiration, no lack of pull to create. There is only immersion in the organic textures of the landscape, the magical energy of our native rocky places, the ancestors, the ebb and flow of the tides.
My collections are a celebration of our wonderful, powerful uniqueness, our individuality and the people and places we hold dear. Pieces are released every few weeks in fresh drops and when I can, I upload my bench journal thoughts... inspirations and moments of mayhem, but all in the spirit of sharing and showing what its like to do what I do.

Gratitude
There is a wonderful daughter here at Aileach Moon who gives so freely of her time, wisdom and skills. Without her and the support and encouragement of those people I hold dear, Aileach Moon may never have taken root. I am most grateful. I hope you will join me on my journey. Céad míle fáilte... a hundred thousand welcomes.
