“Jewellery that invites curiosity.”  

Contemporary Jewellery created by Katie Woollett. 

Katie works with Silver, Gold,  semi precious Gemstones and Beads.

Originally a psychotherapist, I began making natural gemstone bead jewellery as a hobby, selling in craft markets. I quickly realized there were very few places that only sold Irish Handmade Crafts, so with a friend, we set up a group called Creative Collective Ireland in 2009. We gathered together about 45 Craftspeople making quality Irish handmade products and ran an annual craft fair and several pop up shops. 

In 2016 I had the opportunity to retrain as a goldsmith over 2 years half time, and I jumped at the chance. I trained in an apprenticeship format every morning, and continued as a therapist in the afternoons. In 2018, when I could have been thinking of retirement, I set up Journeys End Studio in Dublin and focused on building a small but sustainable jewellery business. I am delighted with my second career and urge everyone to follow their dreams! It’s never too late!

Perhaps because of my background I an interested in what draws us to a particular style of Jewellery and the “Fluid” silver collection is a creative response to the loss of control experienced in lockdown!
