Irish designer Tory Long
The first time I met Tory, I was an enthusiastic intern that had basically been dumped at her desk. She was working within the Accessories Buying Department (with the unforgettable Jane) at the time and had to do her own job whilst also finding things for me to do/teach me. It soon became apparent that I had lucked out in terms of who I was shadowing, Tory was sweet, friendly, very stylish and INCREDIBLY smart - she was basically the go-to-gal for everyone in the office whenever they needed help with ... well anything.
The internship ended after six weeks, but once I finished up my final exams I was back in the office and this time round I was getting paid! Tory (& Co - I'm looking at you C&C!) became my friend and after time her obsession with design and jewellery emerged.
Tory has been designing and creating jewellery collections since childhood but waited until last year to create her first collection. With a focus on delicate geometrical shapes, warm soft stones and impeccable attention to detail this range is a delight to behold ...and to wear! Each piece in her collection has been created with much love and is handmade by Tory in her Dublin studio - here's a little peek at some of my favourites.
