Tracy Gilbert is a designer and maker of jewellery that reflects Ireland’s artistic & mythological traditions.

While she started out as an actuary, Tracy eventually decided to leave that world behind and now runs a successful Celtic Jewellery company, which was recently shortlisted for the Fingal Enterprise awards .

She also recently received the good news that her latest collection – Circle of Light – will be sold at the British Museum from mid-April.

 

My new Circle of Light collection crafted in sterling silver has landed in @kilkennyshop Nassau Street. The sun, represented by a golden citrine, bursts from the centre of each piece. Each spiral symbolises one of the right Celtic Festivals: Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Eodtre, Beltaine, Litha, Lughnasa & Mabon... #tracygilbertdesigns
