Having my wedding band custom made by Elena was a great experience , she was able to interpret my personality and taste and put it together with her ideas to create something truly unique and beautiful to symbolise our marriage.

Whilst looking for my ideal wedding band I had two obstacles constantly in my way. Firstly the unusual shape of my engagement ring - marquise, which required a pointed dip in the wedding band. Secondly the small size of my fingers, G, I think. No shop displays rings that small, it's very hard to judge a ring if it's huge on your hand. On top of this, it was impossible to source a shop with any nice wedding bands. I wanted something a little bit different, which suited my personality and stood out. After travelling up and down the country to no avail I found myself wondering through wedding stalls at Kilronan Castle Wedding Fair. Here I met Elena and was drawn to her unique and creative stand immediately. Within minutes she had a fabulous sketch done on paper, much better than anything I had seen previously. From this point we started correspondence by e-mail. Elena would send some sketch ideas and we tweaked them to fit what was in my mind. She even managed to work two treble clefs, two swans and three diamonds into the design. It might sound like a lot but against my plain engagement ring it works perfectly. She then made up a wax ring template which I went to try on for size etc. Once I was happy a deposit was paid and the ring was made. On collection the the rest of the money was paid and that was that. I couldn't recommend Elena highly enough and never stop getting compliments about my jewellery.
Thanks again.

Dear Elena
I am the fussy girl that bought the poppy set. I am writing you to thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. The poppies are so beautiful and the detail is amazing. You have been so great to try various things with the set and I am so happy with the additional pieces you made from red coral that can be added to both earrings and necklace. Your delivery time and presentation was impeccable.
I would also like to thank you for re-making the piece I lost. I think I have become your number one fan:) I would definitely buy jewelery from you again and I will recommend you to my friends.

I commissioned Elena to design a piece of jewellery for my aunt for a special occasion. When I approached Elena she took some details about the lady concerned. Shortly afterwards I received some designs to choose from. This was the difficult part of the process...The designs were beautiful and better than anything I imagined. The finished product is a beautiful and unique necklace which is now worn with pride and frequently admired. Elena is a true professional. I would recommend her work to anybody.

Hi Elena,
I finally got the photos from my photographer on Friday, and so, as promised I have included a print of one of the photos detailing my fab. engagement ring. As you can see it still looks great and I am absolutely delighted with it. A lot of people ask me about it and some even assume it is not made in Ireland - the cheek of them!!
Thanks,

Dear Elena,
Thank you so much for your fantastic work on my swallow pendant 'project'. I've put it on straight away and am delighted with the thought and care you put into it (the little tab at the end of the extender chain is lovely).
All the best,
Aveen

Hi Elena,
I just wanted to thank you again for all of your efforts to get the necklaces to me in time for the graduation. They arrived Friday afternoon, in perfect time for the graduation party on Saturday. They are absolutely beautiful and the girls were delighted when they opened them.
Thanks again!

Hi!
I met Elena at the RDS Craft Fair in Dublin at Christmastime where she had a stall.
I immediately fell in love with her unique jewellery and asked her if she would make a headpiece for me for my wedding. She said she would, and gave me a look at some of her design styles to see what I liked. When she had an idea of what I wanted, we exchanged email addresses and she got in touch when she had a few different designs for me to choose from. When I saw them, I couldn't believe it... They were exactly what I had imagined, only better. So much so, that it was really hard to choose which one was my favourite!

When the design was chosen, Elena made it so that it could sit on my head as a tiara, or, as a more informal-style headpiece if it was placed on my head upside down (which is what I did). She whitened the silver slightly to lend it an antique look. And, she put a beautiful clasp on each end so that, after the wedding, I could wear it as a necklace! It is an absolutely stunning piece of jewellery that will be an heir loom in my family. When I asked Elena to make me a piece of jewellery, I never imagined the result being so beautiful and special. She also made me a pair of drop ear-rings and a necklace in the same style as the tiara. I wear the earrings all the time, and they always make me feel as special as I did on my wedding day. Elena was wonderful to work with and was so generous with her time and creativity. Once I had the jewellery for my wedding, everything else fell into place.

Elena,
You have surpassed yourself, it (bats + moon + stars, bat wings- silver pieces, stars-small pearls, dark blue night sky-lapis lazuli, moon-big pearl, and the black pearls - the shadows in the night) looks even better than I could have anticipated from the work in progress photos. Thank you so much, I love it!
I am dying to give it now…if she doesn’t appreciate it I’m keeping it!
You’re a star,
Ailís
