Galway Jeweler Launches Collection Inspired by Nature

NCAD graduate and award-winning west of Ireland inspired Jewellery Designer Lynsey De Burca is launching her Autumn/Winter Collection ‘Talún’.

Talún is a collection of textured raindrop link jewellery inspired by the western landscape. Over the past 18 months De Burca spent hundreds of hours immersing herself in the western outdoors. Her daily walks are what led to inspiration for the collection.

“Each individual one retains an untouched raw texture on the outer edge contrasting against the smooth high polish of its flat finished front. This reflects the rough texture of the rocks along our coastline in repose against a sometimes flat and tranquil silver tide.”

After further study at NUIG where she gained a diploma in Gemmology, she says the course “instilled a love of gemmology and geology” in her.

For creating her work, she combines many different skills like Piercing, Soldiering, Roller Mill Texturing, Forging and Electroplating.

The Talún Collection starts from €80. To shop the collection click here.
