ILgemstones Jewellery believes in the power of "colourful simplicity". Founded by Irena Leahy, the brand reflects a passion for creating elegant, charming, handmade Irish jewellery. Each piece celebrates individuality and self-expression, combining a love of semiprecious stones with the timeless appeal of precious metals.

I create jewellery that helps you express your personal style — whether you are dressing for a special occasion, choosing a meaningful gift, or simply adding a little brightness to your day. My designs are for women who value elegance, craftsmanship, and quality jewellery at accessible prices.

By choosing my design, you are:

🌟 Uncovering the vibrant beauty of semiprecious stones and the captivating stories behind them. My delicate and statement gemstone and personalised jewellery are a tribute to nature’s beauty.

✨ Precious metals, precious moments. Using sterling silver and gold vermeil ensures the longevity and quality of jewellery. 

🌈 Celebrating colourful simplicity is my design vision, centred on simplicity. The focus is on creating elegantly simple jewellery that allows gemstones and precious metals to shine and take centre stage.

💎 Timeless elegance is captured in designs effortlessly transcending trends. I want to complement your style and let you shine, whether you are dressing up for an event or adding a touch of sophistication to your everyday look.

👐 Handmade with love by Irena Leahy in her Dublin studio ensures precision and attention to detail. Special care is taken in handmaking, as different techniques are used, such as hand-knotting, hand stamping, wire wrapping and beading.

ILgemstones Jewellery is more than just jewellery. It is a tribute to the elegance of simplicity and an ode to the natural wonders of semi-precious stones and precious metals.

Your new handmade Irish jewellery piece will arrive in a high-quality, recyclable and eco-friendly gift box lovingly gift-wrapped and ready to be enjoyed!

My Story

With every piece of jewellery I create, I aspire to bring a touch of elegance and a burst of colour into your life, making every moment special and every day memorable!

ILgemstones Jewellery is my expression of the world of colour, form and texture. My designs range from delicate to statement, reflecting my taste in jewellery. 

The colours, richness, and diversity of nature, from the Mediterranean brightness to the picture-perfect green Irish countryside, are my leading inspirations.

The new lifestyle led me to change my career and pursue my interests in the creative sector. After completing a photography course and several jewellery courses ILgemstones Jewellery brand was created.

  It's a pleasure to have you here, and I hope you enjoy it!
