The Origin of Juvi Designs | An Irish Jewellery Company

Irish brand Juvi was founded from a passion for design, a spirit of adventure, and a vision to create jewellery that sparks joy. Discover a collection of finely crafted pieces, made with recycled gold and silver, and adorned with ethically sourced gemstones.

 

Julie and Vincent (Ju-Vi)

Juvi believes that the stories people carry are woven into the very fabric of their lives. Each Juvi creation is a reflection of this belief, meticulously designed and thoughtfully crafted to capture the significance of special moments.  

Inspired by the beauty of far-flung destinations, Juvi draws from experiences across the globe. Yet, it is in Dublin that these inspirations take shape, with every piece expertly brought to life, echoing the essence of distant places.  

The true story, however, begins when a Juvi piece is worn. It is that sparkle, that connection between the wearer and the craft, that brings each creation to life. It is this personal touch that gives Juvi’s jewellery its deepest meaning.  

This is why Juvi says:  
"Each piece is a story brought home."


Wanderlust

From the gentle lapping waves of the Philippine shorelines to the enchanting coca plantations of Mexico, Juvi draws inspiration from the beauty of the world. The twinkling windows of Manhattan’s towering skyscrapers and the vast, star-filled skies over Ballinskelligs, Kerry, an International Dark Sky Reserve, fuel a deep sense of wanderlust. This spirit of adventure and discovery is woven into every piece, capturing the essence of these breathtaking places in meticulously crafted jewellery.


Juvi Gemstones

With 30 years of experience in gemology and silversmithing, Vincent has cultivated lasting relationships with skilled gem cutters. When sourcing gemstones for Juvi pieces, the journey naturally leads to India.  

For centuries, Jaipur, known as the Pink City, has been the heart of hand-cut gemstones. This long-standing tradition has fostered exceptional expertise, making artisans in this region true masters of their craft. This is why Juvi turns to Jaipur for its meticulously hand-cut gemstones.  

The beauty of hand-cut gemstones lies in their organic, one-of-a-kind nature. Each stone is unique, ensuring no two are exactly alike—an individuality that makes every Juvi piece even more special.


Sustainability and Ethics

Juvi is committed to treading lightly, ensuring that every step in the creative process reflects a deep respect for the planet. By using only recycled silver and gold and sourcing ethical, fair-trade gemstones, the brand prioritises sustainability. With a passion for exploring the world, protecting it for future generations remains at the heart of Juvi’s mission.

By working with recycled silver and gold, Juvi minimises its environmental impact. The brand's plating process utilises the finest German plating machinery and solutions, all within a dedicated plating room at its workshop. Each sterling silver jewellery piece is gold-plated to a thickness of 3 microns, ensuring both quality and longevity.

The brand's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its thoughtful packaging choices, offering beautifully minimal options that embrace the elegance of simplicity.
