Designer Spotlight: Miriam Wade

At The Collective Dublin, we’re proud to showcase the work of Ireland’s most thoughtful and creative independent jewellery designers. One designer who continues to quietly shape the world of contemporary Irish jewellery is Miriam Wade.

With a background in fine art and a studio practice rooted in sculptural design, Miriam’s pieces speak to those who appreciate form, texture, and subtle storytelling. Her work draws from the landscapes of her home in the Irish midlands—from rolling stone to flowing water—and captures their beauty in a refined, wearable form.

Each piece is handmade in Ireland using recycled sterling silver, gold vermeil, and 9ct gold, crafted with care and intention.

Who Is Miriam Wade?

Miriam is an Irish jewellery designer with a calm, confident style that bridges minimalism and natural expression. With a degree in Art and Design, her approach is led by composition, contrast, and the interplay of texture and space.

Rather than ornate embellishments, Miriam’s work embraces:

• Negative space

• Raw, tactile finishes

• Soft curves and sculptural balance

Her jewellery doesn’t demand attention, it invites it. Perfect for those who love design that’s elegant, considered, and quietly powerful.

Design Philosophy: Where Art Meets Everyday

Miriam's collections reflect her belief in slow design where each piece has room to breathe, and beauty is found in the balance between form and function.

She is particularly drawn to:

• Natural erosion and surface texture

• Asymmetry inspired by nature

• Sustainable production and timeless materials

This philosophy flows through everything she creates from understated stud earrings to sculptural pendants and rings that feel like small pieces of modern art.

Introducing the New ‘Stone and Sea’ Collection

Miriam’s latest body of work, titled Stone and Sea, captures the rhythm of the Irish landscape in a new and refined way. This collection is inspired by the enduring contrast between solid stone and the movement of the sea two forces that shape each other over time.

It’s a quiet tribute to nature’s strength, rhythm, and softness.

The Inspiration Behind the Collection

Rather than literal depictions, Stone and Sea interprets the feeling of standing between rock and water. It reflects:

• The stillness and weight of stone

• The fluidity and motion of waves

• The way landscapes are carved and worn over time

These ideas are translated into organic forms, soft curves, and textured surfaces that feel both grounding and elegant.

Each piece is available in sustainable metals, with select options in solid 9ct gold for meaningful gifting or heirloom wear.
