Nigel O'Reilly

Nigel O'Reilly is a well-established master goldsmith and high-jewellery designer based in the rural West of Ireland, found on the Wild Atlantic Way. O’Reilly’s background in shaping metals began in the world of precision engineering; a career that developed into a love of creating unusual pieces of wearable-art. After a decade of creating haute joaillerie for the elite jewellery houses of London’s Bond Street, O’Reilly chose to return home to the wild and passionate landscape of Mayo and establish his eponymous atelier.

Nigel O’Reilly’s creations are defined by the blending of ancient and modern techniques in his own inimitable style, complete with vibrant and voracious quantities of coloured gemstones. His recognisable gold latticework is a signature of the brand, as are generous volumes and undulating shapes. O’Reilly works only to technical perfection, using both innovative technology and ancient tradition to ensure that every angle of every piece is open to microscopic scrutiny.

Beyond Ireland, O’Reilly regularly travels to meet his personal international clients and collectors, hosting annual private salons in New York, Los Angeles, and London.
