The collection consists of sterling silver and base metal. All stock is accompanied by display stands & bespoke packaging

Empire State

The Empire State Building is one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. With that, they receive large numbers of visitors each year. We created a sterling silver collection of silver beads, pendants earrings etc to convey the story of the Empire State Building & the skyline of New York.

Colonial Williamsburg

The Colonial Williamsburg foundation operate the world's largest living-history museum. Giving visitors the opportunity to experience 18th century life and culture. Solvar Design worked with the foundation to develop pieces of jewellery which are representative of the 18th century to reflect the beauty and historical importance of this unique location.

Biltmore

Biltmore is a large private estate and tourist attraction in Asheville North Carolina. Solvar Design worked with Biltmore to develop products to appeal to their female visitors, across a variety of ages groups. Every piece of jewellery produced aims to create lasting memories of their customers visit to this unique location.

Hero Pieces

Titanic

Solvar Design worked with the Titanic Experience Belfast to develop a range of non-precious jewellery to target their female customer base. The focus was to ensure design remained feminine and delivered a new aspect to their predominantly masculine merchandise.

All brand guidelines were followed for product and packaging to ensure an authentic experience for Titanic visitors.

Guinness Storehouse

Guinness is one of the most iconic brands in the world. Not only is it instantly recognisable, but it also has deep connections to Ireland, with its brewery at St James Gate, home to one of the most visited attractions Dublin has to offer.

We created a number of ranges of Jewellery for Guinness, using their branding and personas for their target market in the process.

Replica

Colonial Williamsburg- Broach

Colonial Williamsburg was an exciting brief for us as we were able to use imagery directly associated with the destination and bring it to life. Beginning at the design stage, we sketched pieces and worked to developing these to reality. An important part of this brief was that replica items had to verified and approved by the curator of the museum.

Book of Kells

For the Book of Kell's project, we used the hand-written typography within this 9th Century manuscript to inspire our designs around these letters.

These iconic pieces of jewellery have proven to be popular with many visitors to the Book of Kells at Trinity College Dublin. We sought inspiration for this jewellery from the aesthetic & historical value the Book of Kells holds in Ireland.

Brands

Hershey's

Solvar Design worked with the brand Hershey's on a range of jewellery for their gift stores. Slightly different in brief, this jewellery was developed solely around the company’s brand characters & guidelines, with no particular destination in mind. The Hershey's range features a number of simple and intricate pieces which display the companies branding perfectly.
