Did you know?
We don’t just make jewellery here at JMK. Jim is also a master silversmith, with the knowledge and expertise to craft larger, beautiful objects like this sterling silver water jug - shown here just before the handle was fitted.
Every piece we create, whether as a treasure or as a tool, is a testament to precision, patience, and the timeless art of silver and goldsmithing that spans generations.
Discover our craft in our workshop gallery in the heart of Kilkenny city.

Here's a small glimpse behind the scenes of our Willow Leaf ring taking shape! The final finishing will bring out the contrast between the oxidised sterling silver leaf and the 18ct yellow gold detailing.
Inspired by the graceful form of willow leaves, each ring is carefully made by hand in our Kilkenny City workshop with accuracy, patience, skill and care.
Explore the Willow Leaf collection online or visit the workshop to see pieces in person or to discuss bespoke variations.

June is one of the few months with more than one birthstone - pearl, moonstone and alexandrite.
Here are few examples of how we've used June birthstones in pieces made here in the workshop over the years.
If you're celebrating a June birthday, call into the workshop to see our current selection or talk to us about creating something bespoke.

This silver cross with gold detail is focused on balance and proportion. These are often the hardest to get right - proportion and finish matter more when there’s very little excess.
Handmade in our Kilkenny City workshop by our master goldsmiths.

Clasps are often one of the last things people notice in a necklace. They are a small but important detail in the design process and they can make a real difference to the functionality of the piece.
Here are a few different styles of clasps we can offer. Call in to us any time for a chat about options like these.

Sapphires are often associated with deep blue stones, but did you know they naturally occur in a wide range of colours?
This piece pairs an orange sapphire with 18ct white and yellow gold, letting the warmth of the stone stand out. Designed and handmade by our master goldsmiths in the heart of Kilkenny.
If coloured sapphires are something you’re curious about, feel free to get in touch with us at the workshop.

We love fluorite for the colour variation you get through a single strand.
These cube beads shift between green, blue, violet and even softer translucent tones that shift depending on the light.
Call in to our workshop in the heart of Kilkenny to see our selection of bead necklaces, each one is a little different from the next!
