Design & Craftmanship

 

. 

.
From our own Dublin studio and workshop, our talented craftspeople combine traditional skills with cutting edge technology, to transform the finest gems and precious metals into unique pieces of jewellery, treasured and adored by our customers.

Our designers and craftspeople are extensively trained,  through our own apprenticeship programme and other world renowned European centres.  They bring exceptional levels of skill, attention to detail and pride to every piece of jewellery we make.  When buying a diamond ring, you know it was created with the same love and joy, you will experience wearing it.

Our signature Appleby style
.
Margaret Appleby first began our family business in 1950’s Dublin, crafting jewellery in the family home for a select circle of customers. The focus has always been on quality,  craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail.  This tradition is now proudly continued by the third generation of the family, with just as much passion as the founders.

We seek out remarkable stones with vivid colours and exceptional beauty. Our gemstones are sourced directly by us, and we only use diamonds that are natural and conflict-free. Over the generations, Applebys' have earned a reputation for demanding the highest standards and quality in all the gemstones we buy.  As a family business, integrity and social responsibility are always at the core of our sourcing practices. Whether you want a particular coloured sapphire, or a particular type of diamond cut, we are always very happy to discuss sourcing the stones for your bespoke design.

Testimonials

.
"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 Appelbys 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 Appelbys 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"

"I would like to say a huge thank you for the magnificent remodelling of my diamond solitaire ring. It is a sentimental ring which has been restored beautifully. Thank you Gerry for your advise and guidance I couldn't be happier. It's always a pleasure going into you and I just adore my Appleby creation. This family has enjoyed years of great service and I am glad to say my granddaughter has followed our tradition. Thank you so much"
