The Dreoilín
Inspired by Russell's time spent with his grandmother and her memories of the Wren Boys.
Dreoilín is the Irish word for “wren”, pronounced: droh-LEEN
Our name honours the tiny but mighty wren, known in Irish folklore as the “King of the Birds.” Though small in size, the dreoilín is full of spirit, courage, and beauty, qualities we try to capture in every piece we create.
Russell is a third-generation Goldsmith, continuing a proud family legacy of craftsmanship.
After completing a five-year apprenticeship under his father and studying advanced gemstone setting in Rome at the Accademia Delle Arti Orafe, Russell founded Dreoilín Jewellery Co.
Over the years, Russell has honed his skills restoring and crafting classical and vintage engagement rings.
Today, Russell draws inspiration from the rhythm of modern Irish life and the quiet beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.
Before founding Dreoilín Jewellery Co., he worked as an outdoor expedition guide, an experience that deepened his appreciation for nature and continues to inspire his designs.
