Growing up on a remote farm in rural County Mayo in Ireland, Nigel O’Reilly could never have envisioned a career in the elite world of high jewellery. But today, his bespoke creations are sold at Sotheby’s, pictured in publications from Town & Country to The New York Times, and worn by celebrities such as Saoirse Ronan and Julianne Moore.
Nigel’s jewellery has become synonymous with creative brilliance and technical excellence, and he has been hailed as one of the greatest talents to emerge in jewellery circles over the past decade.
In this exquisite book, he recounts his unlikely journey from dyslexic schoolboy to celebrated master goldsmith.
