Helen Fitzpatrick Jewellery

...a little more about me - Helen Fitzpatrick

I have created haute couture embroidery design at Prada, Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta, Bruce Oldfield, Vera Wang, Gucci, Valentino and Armani. My work has been adorned by such people as Sharon Stone, the late Princess Diana and Queen Rania of Jordan and has been reviewed and acclaimed by Vogue and the New York Times.

“classic jewellery featured in the award winning TV drama "The Tudors" ”

Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Elle Macpherson have all graced my designs. Since returning from New York, my home is County Armagh, Ireland, and in conjunction with Tipperary Crystal I have brought this stunning range of jewellery to fruition allowing you to experience a piece of haute couture. I was delighted that my jewellery range was chosen to compliment the award winning costumes in the recent BBC acclaimed drama series "The Tudors".

...my brand - Tipperary Crystal

The designs reflect the inspiration of years of rich experience creating luxurious embroidery. Each piece of jewellery features the same high levels of craftsmanship and utilises the same techniques as those used to embroider a haute couture gown. The shape of each piece is marked upon a silk charmeuse base into which threadwork stitches are hand worked in glistening silver or gold threads.

"Pearl purl" invisible wire is used to couch down the threads. The embroidery effect is achieved by combining a series of layers of sparkling crystals and glass beads with specialised coating including 24kt gold. What the naked eye can see is the dazzling finish to a piece of jewellery that has completed one of the most intricate individually hand crafted production techniques in modern contemporary jewellery.
