Blog - HEN Jewellery

Are you a fan of handcrafted jewellery? Do you love unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere else? If so, then you’ll want to check out some of the amazing open-air markets happening in your area this summer! These markets are the perfect place to find handcrafted sterling silver jewellery that you’ll love.

Have you ever wondered how something is made? Come to the markets and meet the makers and ask them yourself. This is such a great way for you to really connect before you buy. You get to purchase something you love and you support a local artisan in the process.

Open-air markets are a treasure trove of unique and one-of-a-kind items. You’ll find pieces that you won’t see anywhere else, including some stunning sterling silver jewellery.

Cork Craft & Design is a collaborative effort by craft makers in Cork County. I currently don’t stock my jewellery here – but keep an eye out as they hold open air markets and I am certainly going to be there for those.
They bring together the very best of Cork’s unique craftmakers and artists; ceramicists, jewellers, textile-workers, furniture-makers, woodturners and carvers, paper and felt makers, sculptors and many more. One of their initiatives is a retail shop where all these crafts people can sell their work. What makes this shop so fun is that stock changes from month to month – so you’ll see a new shop each month. Plus, you get a chance to meet the maker as we each take a turn minding the shop each day.

The Mill (unit 27a) at St. Patrick’s Woolen Mills, Douglas (beside the Pigs Back Restaurant) is the location for the Cork Craft and Design Shop. It’s a wonderful place to get a special gift for someone (or for you).
