Established in 1985 Declan Killen, Goldsmith, have been
working from their premises at :
12 Fade Street, Dublin 2.
They design and make their own collections of contemporary
and Celtic jewellery. The jewellery is made in silver, gold and platinum
metals using all the traditional methods of craftsmanship and also
incorporating modern techniques in the finishing processes. Every
piece is individually hand crafted and hallmarked.
Each piece of Declan's jewellery begins with a drawing of the design
from which a master pattern is made. The basic shape of the piece
is then cast, after which it is meticulously finished by hand thus
creating a high quality piece of jewellery. There are four elements
that Declan Killen considers when designing and making a new collection
of jewellery:
Design · Elegance · Quality · Image
They also design and make individual pieces
of jewellery incorporating precious and semi-precious gems. These
individual
items
can be added to over a period of time and made into an individual
collection of jewellery for our clients.
