Dáiríne is a handcrafted pendant made from Irish bog oak, preserved in the earth for over 5,000 years and recovered near Athenry, Co. Galway. The wood is shaped by hand, keeping its natural, uneven character, and finished with a subtle touch of real 23.75kt gold leaf.

Each piece is one of a kind, shaped by time, place, and material. The dark bog oak contrasts quietly with the gold, highlighting the raw texture rather than hiding it.

Dóchas means fruitful or fertile.
