About Rian Na Réalta
Each piece is crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold and set with a brilliant-cut diamond, designed to be worn alone or layered.
Available in mini, midi and large sizes, these 18ct gold pieces are made to last - substantial in weight, balanced in proportion, and finished by hand at the bench.
Rian na Réalta, meaning “Path of the Stars”, draws on the idea that jewellery can mark a moment, a direction, or a turning point.

Frequently Asked Questions About 18ct Jewellery
Is 18ct gold suitable for everyday wear?
Yes - when it’s designed properly.
18ct gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold, giving it a richer colour and weight. While it is slightly softer than 9ct, durability comes down to proportion and construction.
Each piece in the Rian Collection is balanced at the bench - with considered thickness, solid links and secure stone settings - so it can be worn daily, not kept for occasion.
What is the difference between 9ct and 18ct gold?
The difference lies in gold content.
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold.
18ct gold contains 75% pure gold.
This higher gold content gives 18ct its deeper tone, greater weight and intrinsic value. It is often chosen for fine jewellery and heirloom pieces.
Both alloys are durable when properly made - the choice comes down to colour preference, investment value and how you want the piece to feel when worn.
Is your 18ct gold jewellery handmade in Dublin?
Yes.
Each piece is designed and finished at the bench in my Dublin workshop. Designs are produced in small numbers, allowing close attention to detail, stone setting and finish.
This is not mass-produced jewellery. Every element - from weight to proportion - is considered before it leaves the workshop.
Do you offer bespoke 18ct gold jewellery?
I focus on my own collections rather than bespoke design.
The Rian Collection is the result of years of refinement - adjusting scale, weight and balance until each piece feels finished. For that reason, I don’t alter core designs.
If you are unsure about scale or layering, I’m always happy to guide you towards the right piece within the collection.
