Discover the extraordinary story of Nigel O’Reilly, a master goldsmith whose journey from a remote farm in County Mayo to the elite world of high jewellery is nothing short of inspirational. Renowned for his creative brilliance and technical mastery, Nigel’s bespoke pieces are sold at Sotheby’s, celebrated in Town & Country and The New York Times, and worn by stars like Saoirse Ronan and Julianne Moore.
In Evolution of a Goldsmith, Nigel shares his remarkable path from a dyslexic schoolboy to a world-renowned artisan, offering readers a rare glimpse into the passion and perseverance behind his craft.
This limited-edition hardback features 272 beautifully designed pages with gold foil edging, each copy individually wrapped and signed by the author. With a foreword by Shaun Leane and an introduction by Dana Thomas, it is a true collector’s item.
Nigel O’Reilly’s jewellery is proudly available at Ashford Castle, where we are honoured to partner with such an exceptional talent.
