Growing Home Collection If your roots are in Ireland, you'll love this collection which depicts

Ireland as a tree with deep, strong and enduring

roots. It has withstood hardships but continues to grow and give shelter to new and existing generations. This collection is inspired by the strength of the Irish spirit.

Rotate the pieces & watch as the strong tree image transforms into a map of Ireland.

This design is also a reimagining of the traditional Tree of Life symbolism.

The Growing Home Collection is available in solid silver (the Button range) or with a combination of translucent coloured acrylic (the Coloured range) that allows the light to shine through the pieces to reveal the Celtic spirals at the back.

4

Growing Home Collection Coloured Range The Coloured collection is crafted to allow light to shine through the pieces to reveal a Celtic triple spiral (triskele – representing eternity) that is pierced out at the back.

Each piece is crafted from Sterling Silver and comes with a story card explaining the meaning behind the piece. The Coloured range is available in translucent emerald green (representing the Land of Ireland) and blue (representing the Ocean) acrylic.

Children of Lir This collection is inspired by the tale of 4 siblings who were turned into swans for 900 years by their stepmother, jealous of the children’s love for each other and their father, Lir. The pair of swans

entwine to form a heart, symbolising

Love & Dedication.

1916 Collection 2016 marks 100 years since the Easter Rising and the reading of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic on the steps of Dublin’s GPO. The seven signatories (MacDiarmada, Pearse, Ceannt, Plunkett, Clarke, Connolly and MacDonagh) of the Proclamation will be remembered for their contribution to the establishment of modern Ireland. Tracy designed this collection to show how it appears to have been their destiny to forge Ireland together. Using one letter from each, if you align the surnames in just the right way, the word “IRELAND” is revealed.

These pieces are available in sterling silver (other precious metals available on request) with Ireland highlighted in black or green.
