Design & Craftmanship
.
From our Appleby Dublin studio and workshop, our talented craftspeople combine traditional skills with cutting edge modern technology to transform the finest precious metals and gems into unique jewellery, treasured and adored by our customers.
Our designers and craftspeople are extensively trained – many of our goldsmiths have come through our own apprenticeship programme. They bring to every piece of jewellery the highest levels of skill, attention to detail, and pride in fine workmanship. When buying a diamond ring you can be assured 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. A focus on quality over quantity, and a belief in master craftsmanship combined with creativity, passion and attention to detail has remained our practice throughout the generations here in Dublin City. We now have an in-house team of jewellery designers, master goldsmiths, diamond setters and gemologists working together in our workshop. Our founder remains a constant source of inspiration to us and we continue to honour her commitment to artistry and excellence of craftmanship in all designs crafted in our workshop today.

Bespoke Jewellery Redesign
Having an in-house team of designers, master goldsmiths and gemologists means we can transform your family heirlooms into beautifully bespoke pieces. Remodelling your jewellery allows you to create a contemporary jewellery piece while maintaining the emotional connection and the sentimental value to the piece. Engaging with a wide range of budgets and personal preferences, our workshop team have experience transforming many classic family heirlooms into new designs.
Please Note: Each redesign is examined on an individual basis, we take exceptional care with all jewellery, and each piece would require our in-house gemologist and design team to assess the jewellery first, and we can then discuss what is required and if we can bring new life to a sentimental piece of jewellery. Contact us below and we would be delighted to discuss your vision.

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"

"From the moment you arrive to the moment you collect your rings you are made feel special. I had a bespoke engagement ring made with an emerald and diamond to signify my Irish other half and it came out beautifully."

"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"
