Andrea Mears
Andrea started designing jewellery with the aim of creating beautiful fine pieces, inspired by mythology and spirituality, with a modern aesthetic. Her designs are a blend of geometric patterns, esoteric ideas, and that sense of magic that is just below the surface of everyday moments.
Andrea has a background in design and digital fabrication, and she handcrafts her pieces in her studio in Limerick. She works with sterling silver, gold plating, and solid 14ct gold and Swarovski crystals.
Andrea's process embraces our rich Irish heritage of handmade to the highest standards. Every piece has a personal meaning, and a narrative that evokes a sense of possibility and reawakening.
A golden inner compass for those moments when we feel lost.

Triangulum is a small constellation in the northern sky, and is also the name of its brightest, most beautiful spiral galaxy. In the darkest skies, the Triangulum galaxy is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, despite being 2.3 million light years away. The Triangulum necklace is small but mighty, and is a heavenly combination of textured hexagons, genuine Swarovski crystal combined within a triangular island.
Size: 36mm x 16mm x 2.7mm on an 18 inch chain
The queen bee necklace is based on an ancient Greek coin from Ephesus, Ionia from 300BC. The honey bee was a powerful symbol in ancient Greece, and a very important to Ephesus. She was associated with Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, wild nature and protector of women.
The bee is also a symbol of rebirth, good luck and prosperity since ancient times. In Celtic myths, bees were regarded as beings of great wisdom and also as spirit messengers between worlds. Their honey was treated as a magical substance and used in many rituals. When made into mead it was considered to have prophetic powers and was called 'the nectar of the gods'. The bee is said to represent healing through the properties of honey.
This little bee coin necklace is imbued with so much protection and positivity. Wear to feel grounded and powerful.

Inspired by Buddhist prayer wheels that symbolise protection and blessings, and date back over 2000 years. I like the idea of having your own little talisman that you can play with or spin when you feel anxious. My modern day versions feature my signature hexagons. My sister and I went on an epic trip to India in 2013, and at a monastery in the north we spun prayer wheels by hand to accumulate wisdom and good karma, and purify bad karma. This is where I first encountered them, and this is where the seeds for this idea were planted.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom and strength, and also craft and warfare. So a busy woman then. There’s so much imagination and inspiration in Ancient Greek myths, especially if you’re a bit of a day dreamer like myself. One side of this coin is her sacred animal the owl, the symbol of wisdom. This coin necklace is loaded with symbolism and a little bit of magic. Wear to feel powerful.
