Mara Designs - Gifts from the Sea

Meet the Founder and Maker Muireann Ryan, who is a contemporary jewellery maker, specializing in hand made Titanium, Silver and Pearl jewellery. A lover of the sea, a lot of her inspiration comes from there – the colours, the texture of light on water, the fluidity of water and her creatures. Muireann is also passionate about jewellery being comfortable to wear, so she adds volume and texture to her pieces without adding weight and tries to use catches that are easy to close so the pieces are easy to take on and off.

Muireann is a qualified Mechanical Engineer and worked as an Engineer for 25 years, both in Ireland and the UK. But in 2021, after taking stock of what she wanted to achieve in her life, she made the decision to turn jewellery making into a career. So she left her job, signed up for a full-time jewellery making course and hasn't looked back!

Muireann now works from home close to the Nire Valley in rural County Waterford, creating jewellery, running her own business and looking after her young family.

Muireann joined the Tudor Artisan Hub March 2023 and her beautiful collections are highly sought after!
