Fashion trend: All that glitters

Mother’s Day may nearly be upon us but there is still time to find that something special. 

Jewellery may be the obvious choice but this season’s offerings are more unusual than most.

DESIGN NOTES:

CHUPI: Multi-award winning Irish jewellery brand founded by former Topshop designer Chupi Sweetman.

Chupi’s aesthetic combines wild beauty with the sparkle of gemstones.

MELANIE HAND: With 20 years’ experience as a designer and manufacturer, Melanie uses a mixture of beads, Swarovski crystal, lace, and Murano glass for an experimental twist on her handmade costume jewellery.

MOMUSE: MoMuse is the home of Dublin-based designer Margaret O’Rourke’s signature jewellery collection. Think semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and lava with gold-filled and sterling silver — many pieces hand-finished in her studio.
