Tina Ashmore was born in Dublin with a hunger and curiosity for creativity that has led her to many different genres of creative expression: stained glass and mosaic work, creative writing, singing, lyric and song writing . Each colour and detail of this varied pallet, built up over time, has led her to what would become the greatest love of her life “ Jewellery” and the birth of her Timeless Jewellery Collection. This discovery came as quite a surprise. It had not been sought out, needled or forced. It, as fate sometimes does, found her and without any formal training or background in this area, Tina miraculously gave birth to a talent she had previously been unaware of.
She now has a loyal client listing in Ireland , Italy , France , and America . She is privately commissioned to make individual pieces to suit all needs for any occasion. She makes signature pieces for high profile personalities and is regularly featured in fashion magazines, newspaper editorials and on TV. She has worked closely with Catherine Manning of RTE`s wardrobe department in providing pieces of jewellery for TV shows, programs and award ceremonies.
Austrian crystal, pearl, gemstones and sterling silver are used to create one of a kind and limited addition intricately detailed pieces created with all the romance, decadence and style of yesterday for the mystery grace and purity of all that is feminine today.
Asked about her unique style, she says, “I am inspired by nature and you can see that reflected in my work, in the form of juicy berries, blossoms, fruits and flowers. Travel, art, history and different cultures stimulate my need to create. I am also deeply inspired by my dreams and often wake up bubbling over with excitement because I have all the details of my next piece in my head, and I just can’t wait to get started! One of the great joys in my life is making beautiful pieces of jewellery I love the challenge, I love my medium, and I am constantly surprised by what can be achieved using it.”
