Madeleine Blaine

The Collective, is a treasure trove of contemporary jewellery design in Dublin’s creative quarter at No.24 Drury Street. The latest venture of designer and creator Madeleine Blaine, The Collective unites the creative talents of Ireland’s emerging and more established jewellery designers in an exciting showcase all under one roof. The Collective brings together Blaine’s own creations under the Gallardo & Blaine label with other designers based in Ireland, including Miriam Wade, Caroline Stokesberry-Lee and Lynsey de Burca. Exhibitions from guest jewellers will feature regularly alongside resident designer’s seasonal collections at The Collective, to always ensure something new and exciting in store. Madeleine Blaine’s own passion for jewellery emerged 15 years ago following extensive global travel that sparked an interest in archetypal symbols which appear extensively in her work today. Inspired by nature and incorporating trees, vines and dragonflies, her creations under the Gallardo & Blaine label are both magical and enchanting. Works of art to wear, they feature hand-picked, unusual and exquisite gemstones from around the world. The Collective, a concept jewellery store, unites individually inspired collections from Irish based designers to deliver a truly eclectic showcase. With a glittering array of styles, materials and colour at The Collective there’s something to suit every style and budget.
