The Iconic De Staic Family Jewelry Business: A Story of Quality and Elegance
Brian and Máiréad founded their now-well known family jewelry business in the Dingle Gaeltacht in 1981. Their collection of one-of-a-kind miniature works of art, featuring quality and elegance, has attracted thousands of customers and garnered numerous awards and accolades worldwide.
Brian and Máiréad’s commitment and creativity is the driving force behind the BdeS, with creations inspired by Ireland's rich archaeological heritage and the beauty of the Dingle Peninsula.
It all started with a bench, hand tools, saws, files, a polishing machine, and a shared vision to create his stunning designs.
World-renowned and recognized for its delicate detailing, Brian de Staic Jewellery combines the skilled artistry of a modern master with the unique age-old traditions of the Celts. Brian himself personally trains his in-house team, to ensure the highest quality and elegance of each piece.
And just like Dingle’s ancient Ogham stones that overlook the Atlantic, each piece is individually hand-crafted with meaning and purpose. Making Brian de Staic jewellery one-of-a-kind. The rings, pendants and brooches aren’t just capturing a memory for you to treasure, they’re also miniature works of art.
