DUIBHNE GOUGH creates her necklaces by ‘painting with beads’.  Whether semi-precious stones, sea-glass or freshwater pearls, the combinations and sequences of the beads she uses create a harmonious necklace. The silver beads she hand-forges with traditional silversmithing tools and hammers out patterns on the surface of some of her earrings whilst adding an embossed 18 ct gold decoration to others.  Duibhne learnt the art of jewellery making from her father Breon O’Casey and has proved herself a worthy successor to his skills!
