Tiaras, Hair Combs & Hair Vines


I have for a long time loved vintage jewellery and over the past I have made wonderful pieces for brides to be, using some vintage beads and vintage style beads. Below are images of
some of my designs that I have made.


This stunning Tiara was commissioned by the regional Carlow Rose committee for this year's Rose for the "Rose of Tralee" Festival and will be used for the next three years. It was a great pleasure to be asked and to make this tiara.
It has fresh water pearls flowers buds, swarovski crystal flowers and tiny leaves and large sterling silver mounted cubic zirconia in oval, pear and square shapes to give an extra sparkle for the winning Rose. The cost for this fabulous tiara that really sparkles is €250.00





This is a lovely example of where 14kt gold wire enhances the fresh water pearls and swarovski crystal flowers and buds, giving the pearls a more mellow effect. The beauty of this design is the at flowers and buds are movable.
A similar one was used at a photo shoot of the autumn 2008 edition of the B magazine where Aoife the model wore it in a side bun wearing a light gold dress. The cost of this hair comb is €100.00



Again using vintage inspired style for the above hair comb, was made for a bride wearing a lovey lace wedding dress with a diamante brooch on her wedding dress this hair comb I made to bring the whole style together. The cost of this is €170.00, it is made using sterling silver diamante beads and fresh water pearls.


This Alice band with fresh water peal cluster flowers and sprigs with diamante beads on the band is a very simple design that would suit flower girls and first Holy Communions as its very light to wear and all the sparkle that big and little girls love. The cost starts from €125.00


This beautiful hair vine was crochet using sterling silver wire, with clusters of fresh water pearls dotted though the vine with swarovski crystals to give a sparkle effect. The bride to be ordered this as she intends to wear it Grecian style wrapped in her hair with cluster pearl hair pins to secure it.

There are loops at both ends, the cost is €170.00 It can be made with any colour gemstones, fresh water pearls (as these are much lighter than swarovski crystal pearls) and swarovski crystals.

Crochet 14kt Gold Wire


This Tiara has been hand crochet combining fresh water pearls and swarovski crystals. The tiara is inspired by the old Irish lace designs which I have brought into my new collection of "Contemporary Irish".


It can be made in sterling silver or 14 kt gold and can have different gems crochet through it. The starting price for this style of tiara is €240.00
