Jewellery as Cultural expression

Wearable Art
Jewellery:
A language
without words

Jewellery is often reduced to ornament. Vanessa's work approaches it as something else entirely: a form of authorship, identity & cultural expression.

Through Vanessa Ree Jewellery, I create pieces that sit between wearable object and artwork, jewellery that is designed to be worn, but made to hold meaning.

Celebrated for creating unique pieces of Wearable Art Jewellery, Vanessa's design aesthetic inspires the discerning eye.

Jewellery - Expression
with Intention

Jewellery was originally not just an object of beauty but a symbol with meaning. Like keepsakes or tattoos that people would cherish or etch into their skin, these are reminders of a past life, or a loved one. Jewellery has this same power to evoke a feeling or a memory, but in a beautiful 3D expression.

Diamond & Gold
Stag Brooch

This ultra elegant piece is a celebration of the iconic Irish Red deer, a symbol of prestige and strength. Created in 18ct gold and set with 39 diamonds in the face, this piece is a statement in discerning modern Irish style. Handmade to order this is a most inspired gift.

Liam, Rathfarnham

I ordered the cow pendant after seeing Vanessa Ree featured in the Irish Times Magazine. My wife has a really quirky sense of style and I knew she'd love this. I was a bit worried about ordering online but Vanessa got in touch to confirm delivery and made sure it was delivered in time. The handwritten note that explained the story behind the piece really made it!

I was delighted to receive a gift of earrings from Vanessa's Adversity Collection. They are beautifully made and the oxidised silver finish gives them a really contemporary edge which I love. They also look great with almost everything in my wardrobe. As someone who loves a more modern jewellery aesthetic, I'm really delighted, they are just my style.

The stacked squares ring is my favourite piece of jewellery. I love that this ring brings a touch of class to anything that I am wearing and it is incredibly comfortable to wear all day. Vanessa sized it to fit me perfectly and I love it more and more every time I wear it, I can't wait to purchase my next statement piece from Vanessa.

I recently bought earrings from the adversity collection as the concept of the collection struck a chord with me. The beautiful crafted earrings were delivered in style with a personal touch of a handwritten note :) Love them and Vanessa was a pleasure to deal with :)

I received a recent birthday gift of the cows head pendant and I love it! Vanessa's jewellery collections are fab! Looking forward to my next purchase ; )

Maura Howe

After years in pursuit of the perfect pair of grey drop earrings at a good price point I discovered Vanessa's Adversity collection and was spoilt for choice! I narrowed it down to this fab pair and I'm delighted with them. They add extra flair to any outfit, taking me from the office to a night out easily. The care Vanessa takes with all her pieces is obvious in their final execution. Their unique quality attracts plenty of compliments when I wear them too!

Stag's head brooch sterling silver high polish finish

Sara Llamas Moya

I loved the contemporary and elegant look of this brooch from the first time I saw it! With Vanessa’s great advice on the possible finishes for the piece, I ultimately feel that I have a bespoke and timeless item of jewellery. I like its subtle connection to Irish nature, which has been admired by many.

I wanted to give my daughter a gift for completing her Masters. She adores earrings - they’re really the only type of jewellery she wears. I showed Vanessa what I was thinking of - a beech leaf - and we went from there. I must admit it was only when I saw the final polished items that I really saw how gorgeous they were. She designed them in her own unique style which I didn’t fully appreciate until the finished product, but they came out really well and my daughter adored them.”

I fell in in love with this piece when I saw it - this gorgeous stag pendant. It is so unique and beautifully crafted. It’s a statement but yet so delicate. It’s a really special piece I know I’ll have it a lifetime.

Commissioned Silver sailing boat pendant

Graham McMullin

I commissioned Vanessa to make a piece for my wife Zandra as an anniversary gift. And she made a beautiful silver pendant of our sail boat. Vanessa came up with some classy design ideas and we talked through how each could be made and how each would turn out. We went for a 3D type design which gave the sail a billowing effect giving the piece energy and movement as it moves through the waves. I really like it and love seeing it being worn. Zandra loves it and gets wonderful compliments about it. Vanessa went out of her way to get it completed in time for our anniversary. Fabulous job.

Cluster Ring-The Adversity Collection is a rich concept and offers a wealth of unique pieces of jewellery. Introducing the exclusive Cluster Ring. Each ring is created by hand and so each is unique. Available in sterling silver or 9ct gold, the variety of finishes is fantastic. For a finish that offers surprising highlights choose the gold or silver options with pin polished finish. For a super urban contemporary feel chose the cement look, the sandblasted and oxidised silver option.

Sinead Cosgrove

I fell in love with Vanessa's designs & craftsmanship. I love the conceptual approach she takes to her collections. The Cluster Ring from the Adversity Collection and the idea of following your own path captured in the Concentric Circles ring really spoke to me. Vanessa created both pieces in 9ct & 18ct gold and I am thrilled with both pieces which are timeless unique and exquisitely crafted. Supporting local Irish design talent is an additional bonus.
