Bespoke Design

Your Vision, Our Craftmanship

Our bespoke design service invites you to create something truly personal — a piece of jewellery as unique as the moment it marks. Every bespoke commission is crafted with care in our Dublin workshop by master jewellers, using only the finest materials.

From the very beginning, we work closely with you — whether you're reimagining a family heirloom or dreaming of a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. Our in-house gemologists will source exceptional diamonds and rare coloured gemstones, selected for their brilliance, character, and traceable origin.

We guide you through each stage of the process — from the first pencil sketch and hand-selected stones to the final polish and presentation. With decades of experience, a personal touch, and uncompromising standards, we’re here to bring your vision to life.

Crafted With Integrity

At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to responsible practices, honouring both the beauty of fine jewellery and the world it comes from.

That’s why every Appleby piece is crafted using sustainable recycled gold and platinum, refined and shaped in our Dublin workshop by master goldsmiths. By choosing recycled precious metals, we significantly reduce our environmental impact while upholding the same exceptional standards of strength, purity, and beauty.

When it comes to our gemstones, ethical sourcing is non-negotiable. Our expert gemologists source conflict-free diamonds that meet the highest standards of integrity and traceability. Appleby diamonds are certified through the Kimberley Process, a global initiative that ensures diamonds are not used to fund conflict — giving you complete confidence in your stone’s origin.

From the earth to your hand, we believe in creating jewellery that reflects care, conscience, and craftsmanship — pieces to treasure not only for their beauty, but for the values they represent.

Our state-of-the-art laser engraving service offers the most precise and refined way to personalise your jewellery. Housed within our Appleby workshop, this non-contact process ensures your piece remains untouched and pristine throughout.

A Legacy Of Craftsmanship & Care

Over the decades, Appleby Jewellers has remained a trusted name in Irish jewellery — a place where customers know they’ll receive the very best in quality, value, and care.

Our story began in 1950s Dublin, in the warmth of the Appleby family home, where Margaret Appleby, Ireland’s first female diamond setter, began handcrafting beautiful, personal pieces of jewellery for a small circle of discerning customers.

From the very beginning, Margaret’s focus was on quality, craftsmanship, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail — values that would become the foundation of the Appleby name.

By the late 1950s, she and her husband John opened their first shop on Johnson’s Court, just off Grafton Street — the very location where Appleby’s flagship store still stands today. Today, that tradition is proudly carried forward by the second and third generation of the Appleby family with the same same dedication to excellence, integrity, and warm, personal service.

Helpful support team

Wishing to have an inherited ring restyled, I visited several Dublin jewellers who told me what I wanted. Not sure how they knew this as they didn’t ask or listen.

I then went to Applebys and met Lais who treated me so respectfully and we discussed the options together and a plan came into being. There was a small issue afterwards but Applebys dealt with it in a most professional yet kind and thoughtful manner. I now have my ring with which I am thrilled but made more special by the attention and genuine care from the staff in Appelbys.

I cannot recommend them highly enough and if I need a jewellers again, I will not waste time and energy going elsewhere. Thank you - you are the best"
