An overview of the 2022 collection of Irish master goldsmith and high-jewelry designer Nigel O'Reilly, with personal descriptions referencing the design of each individual masterpiece with detailed, full-color photography throughout.

This collection of high-jewelry was exhibited at Sotheby's Los Angeles, in December 2022.

“I am driven by beauty, the beauty of the stone, beauty of my landscape in the West of Ireland, the rigorous beauty of my work. I find great satisfaction in the union between the piece and the person who wears it. My work balances at a point of tension between innovative technology and natures own creation. When you are gifted something as rare as a gemstone it is your duty to realise its beauty… ”

Nigel O’Reilly’s approach was forged by his exposure to excellence. Nigel started his professional life in engineering but his creativity moved him in the direction of high jewelry where he spent a decade creating individual masterpieces for some of the world’s most luxurious jewelry houses. In 2009 he founded his studio in the West of Ireland, creating his own collections. O’Reilly works only to technical perfection, using both innovative technology and ancient tradition to ensure that every angle of every piece is open to microscopic scrutiny. Each bespoke creation is made by hand, by O'Reilly and his self-trained team of goldsmiths and diamond setters. O’Reilly is driven by technical brilliance and his personal relationships with the world’s most discerning collectors allowing his creativity to continually flourish and the existing boundaries in high-jewelry to be constantly re-imagined.
