A great sense of calm can be found where the ocean meets the land. There’s something about the great expanse of the sky above, the sea beyond and the sound of the waves crashing on to the ground beneath our feet, that restores us and helps to calm our busy minds.

Our SS24 collection, ‘From The Ocean’s Edge’ speaks to this moment of serenity. Crystal blue aquamarine and iridescent pearls adorn earrings, pendants and rings in 9kt gold, 18kt gold and 14kt gold-filled. Delicate natural diamonds appear on studs and rings, catching the light just as clear water glistens in the sun. Modern, geometric shapes (circles, stars and bars of gold) compliment more natural elements such as leaf charms and beautifully irregular baroque pearls. A key style in this collection and new to MoMuse, is our ‘double threader earring’ - extra long chains of 9kt gold that can be threaded through two piercings. 

“The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass,
Came dazzling around, into the rocks…
Did sea define the land or land the sea?
Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.”

– Lovers on Aran, Seamus Heaney 

Born of water, pearls symbolise purity, wisdom, spiritual transformation and feminine energy. Their round shape is often associated with the moon and the tidal power it possesses over our oceans. In Roman times, aquamarine, a semi-precious gemstone was often gifted to young lovers as it was thought to bestow happiness, hope and everlasting youth upon its wearers. Seafaring people often travelled with the gemstone, believing it to possess protective qualities. 

Our collections are designed in Dublin by our founder, Margaret O’Rourke. The 14kt gold-filled pieces are handmade in our Dublin studio while our fine jewellery collection featuring 9kt and 18kt gold, are hallmarked locally in Dublin Castle’s Assay Office.
